mig/stainless

I have a little 110v mig welder (no shielding gas) and wondering how well it will weld 3/16 stainless round bar vs 3/16 carbon steel round bar?  Which is preferred?Thanks,-Gary
Reply:You might want to be more specific.  Are you welding the round bar to a rat's a**?  A cockroache's forehead?  Or a mosquito's pecker? 1st on WeldingWeb to have a scrolling sig!

Reply:Not for a 120V MIG you can't.A few weldersA lot of hammersA whole lot of C-clamps
Reply:I would stick with carbon steel for the equipment you have.  I would also ignore the ******** comments made from some of the ridiculous characters that are on this website.  Just ignore them.  Anyway, good luck with your project and happy welding!Agape GuyEverlast Power I-MIG 200 (dual voltage)Everlast PowerArc 200 stickHarbor Freight Titanium 125 Easy FluxHypertherm Powermax 30Way too many power tools
