How thick of metal can a 140 amp welder weld?
about 1/4”
A 140-amp unit can weld up to about 1/4” steel. A 180-amp unit can weld between 3/8” and 5/16” steel. A 200-amp unit can weld between 5/16” steel. A 250-amp unit can weld 1/2” steel.
Is MIG welding with gas better than flux core?
GMAW is not good for welding outside or in drafty conditions. This is because the shield gas has a tendency to blow away before it can do its job. Compared to FCAW the welds will be more visually appealing and will have no slag to chip off. GMAW also welds thin metals with less burn-through compared to FCAW.
Can you mig weld without gas?
While it’s technically impossible to MIG weld without gas, it’s very possible to weld without lugging a gas cylinder and other equipment around. Self-shielding welding with flux core wire is a great option for many hobby users, and with the right welding supplies you can achieve great results!
What is the thickest you can weld with a MIG welder?
The technical name for it is gas metal arc welding (or GMAW), and the slang name for it is wire welding. The MIG process enables the home-hobbyist, artist, farmer/rancher, motorsports enthusiast or DIY welder to make most types of fabrication and maintenance/repair welds on material from 24-gauge up to 1/2-inch thick.

Is the Millermatic 130 a good welding machine?
I weld up to 1/8” steel with it, any thicker and you just do not have enough heat. It will not reliably feed aluminum or have enough power to run a spool gun. For sheet metal and light tubing it is the best machine I have used. Miller replaced it with the 140 also a good machine but has not been as bomb proof as the 130.
Is the Millermatic 140 a bomb proof machine?
Miller replaced it with the 140 also a good machine but has not been as bomb proof as the 130. In case you’re not up on prices, I think they have come down. I’m sure pthunberg’s $1200 is accurate. But, I bought a new MM180 from a local shop for under $800, which would make the MM140 something less, and IOC on Ebay even less.
Is the millermatic.030 a good wire size?
.030 is a good all around wire size. In my opinion, I wouldn’t push anything bigger in that machine. It probably says it can do it, but I have not seen that to be true in similar sized machines.
How much does a Millermatic mm180 cost on eBay?
Just checked IOC on Ebay: the MM180 is $719 and the MM140 is $618. I have a MM130XP and I too think it is the best one out there for work in its range.
