    mig welder with 50amp lowest setting ?

    hello ive found a mig welder that i want to buy but the lowest amp setting is 50amps ? apparently you need 30amps or somthing for car body work ?

    what sorta work will i not be able to do with a 50amp minimum ?

    i dont know if this post will make sense as i dont know much about welders

    also its gasless

    thanks

    i wouldnt go as far to say youd need 30amps to weld car body work as all welders differ

    I weld at higher than that but I just trigger weld it (series of tacks laid half over each other) you should never try and do runs on body panels as you'll distort it to death
