Thanks for all the replies so far. I was hoping to hear from somebody who has successfully used one of these little 70 amp 110 welders to weld light metal like car bodies. Consensus seems to be that nobody has. I already have the old SR 180 amp stick welder which has handled all the heavy welding I've needed to do for over 40 years. But it is almost impossible to weld light metal without burning through. Even at amperage so low it is hard to strike an arc. Yes, mig probably is the best but I hate the idea of having to fool around with gas tanks and tank rentals, wire feed, etc. So much simpler to just grab a welding rod, flip the switch and go to welding anytime I need to weld light steel. I've still got the carbon arc torch for brazeing with the old SR but its near impossible to buy carbons for the torch anymore. Results with the torch and brass on sheet metal were fair to mediocre. Usually too hot and warped the metal.
