I dont know about that particular welder,but to weld rods and have something thats going to hold you need a 220 volt welder.If you are just barely going to stick something together then you might get away with using something like that.You need as small of a diameter rod as you can get,like 1/16 6011 if they make them,and that would need all 70 amps to burn it maybe.I bought one of those 115 volt MIG welders years ago and got a CO2 tank and mild steel wire and could weld 1/4 thick metal.I cut a dump bed of a dump truck and made it longer and only used that little welder and a torch.The trouble I had with it was it had an internal breaker that kept cutting it off.Very aggravating,but it could actually do the job if you had enough patience.I also had 4 years of welding experience under my belt and most of that was on a MIG.You have to know what you are doing with one of those little ones like that or you will still be disappointed.I have run the flux core and it works but it costs a lot for the wire.I guess it welds alright but there again you need to know what you are doing a little or you can make some welds that wont hold anything.

You are probably better off to see if you can find a good welder like a small Lincoln MIG or something that runs on a gas motor or a long extension cord for a 220 Lincoln 225 amp if you want to be able to really weld something.That little welder you have might work if you weld the ground cable to the work,use a real small rod,and arent going to weld a long weld on anything very thick anyway.Thick steel is going to be a problem trying to get it hot enough.Maybe if you can get 6011 rod that small it might work.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
