custom frame work

got a question for all you guys who have built frames or done monster notches.

i want to do a monster notch but im not shure what welder to use, i own a miller 140 mig that runs on 110 and a 180 arc that runs on 220. can i get away with using the 110 on frame work or do i need to use the arc?

Re: custom frame work

I wouldn't trust a 110 volt welder on frame work.

Re: custom frame work

The Miller 110 is plenty for the frame. It should do up to 3/16" steel on the highest setting. These frames are 1/8" or so. It will be fine. If you can, weld the inside and the outside seam.

You need to trust your welding more than the machine. When set properly, you shouldnt have any problems. Do a test piece and check your welding penetration
