So I am welding in the Tangerine Racing inner consol reinforcement. If I have the welder set on three it doesn't bite into the ear. If I have it set on four it bites but it blows holes in the new piece. I was able to get two holes filled and they are definitely welded on. However, I am wanting to know before I do more if going on the four setting will be right and not damage anything. Three just doesn't seem to cut it.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) W. Sean. Forget about a longer cord. Learn to weld properly first. There is no need in a larger machine, just a need to learn the one you have. You know what I do for a living but you have never seen the welder I have at work. It is an older ( 10+ years ) Hobart handler 120. It does everything on a car I need it to do. Yeah, at home I have a 250 amp mig and a 200 amp tig, for doing heavier or more precise stuff, but for the customers restorations at work, the Hobart does just fine. That said I will probably get a new mig for work soon, as the Hobart is having some parts-wear issues, and a newer technology welder would be nice to use on a daily basis. I will only get a 140 amp machine though, just no need in a bigger one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
