What is the thickest material a person can weld with this? I have co2/

1/4".

If you go to straight CO2..you can go up to 3/8', but may have to make
2-3 passes.

Gunner, who has a Weldpak 100 as a judge


I've never even turned a MIG rig on but can't you do the same as stick
welding and make several passes? Or does it have to be a single pass
sort of operation? Or, one pass is perfect, more is maybe?
