Sure, it's slow, but it is a "home/hobby" machine. Ideal is a 350 amp invertor machine running off of 460 volt 3 phase. Maybe Ira should save up and buy that right after re-wirng his townhouse and getting a phase convertor? A 10 ton overhead crane might do well in his garage too...
95% of what a guy needs to weld on a K5 and related stuff is 3/16" or thinner. The other 5% may be thicker, but there isn't that much of it and it isn't in the "flies, floats or saves lives" catagory.

Just for the record it is for welding on the K5 and maybe a cage but it will be .120 wall so it should weld just fine. I am not going to make a 220 extension cord as it would be impractical due to the length and cost. It would have to be over 100Ft long to going from the outlet down to the garage.
I am getting a 135 and a 50 CF bottle locally. I guess this thread is dead so feel free to lock it.
