Thanks to all. This helps alot. One final question:
For the gauge of steel (1/16"), what amp range am I looking at for
small MIG unit?

Find the guide that comes with the machine. It is usually on the inside of
the cover. Learn how to use it. Your answer is going to depend on
thickness, type of gas, and size of wire. Learn to use this guide, and next
time you will know how to have your answer in seconds when you have
different materials.
