Yeah, I too definitely agree that a small 120 V unit isn't a good choice for this project. A small 230V 175/180 amp unit would be my minimum for this project.

Remember........it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
( the wifee taught me that one.

That and.... he who dies with the most toys wins.....are wise words to live by.

mm135
as the picture states, you can go a little more than 1/8" , with flux core wire, and, maybe a few multiple passes , for the thicker you might wanna stick weld it,

I am begining to build an enclosed ATV trailer and I have a Milermatic 135 and use with flux core wire (too windy and no garage). Some people are telling me the 135 is not strong enough to weld 3/16 channel and angle. Any thoughts? I am having the tongue welded at a trailer shop that has a monster mig welder so I am not worried about that part.
