[QUOTE="ACEngineering, post: 7899771, member: 13308"] You need more amps to weld with a mig to weld the same bit of steel you do with a stick. 250amps is probably going to weld 10 or maybe 12mm thick max imo, you just wont get the penetration like a stick using less amps! And more passes with a mig isnt the answer like multiple passes with a smaller than ideal rod on thick stuff using a stick which is slow but you can get away with if needs must. Maybe need a less sensitive RCD trip? Or upgrade wiring? [/QUOTE]
