Afternoon All,

I am about to kick off a project and I wanted to double check my thinking. Essentially I am trying to work out whether my current equipment is up for the task.

I will be welding a frame using 30x30x3mm RHS. Almost all the joints will be BUTT joints. The welder i have is a WeldCorp Mig 125A. I have looked at calculations and settings from this page - MIG Settings Calculator - and it looks like the welder I have will “just” do the job.

I will be pretty much pushing the welder to its max capacity.

Is my understanding correct?

The reason I wanted to check is that it takes me a while to get the settings right - at the best of times. If I am in a situation where no matter what I change it won’t get better, I don’t want to beat my head against a wall.

Thanks for your help
