What are the dimensions of this unit? Also how much does it weigh?

Could I use this to weld somewhere around 1/2" plate steel?

Just went out to measure it so they are roughly
19.5" deep
8" wide
14" tall (including handle)

Actual weight, I'm not sure at the moment. Have to go get a scale. The shipping weight was 54 pounds. The unit is pretty light. I'd venture to say around 35 pounds but I'll let you know for sure later

Could I use this to weld somewhere around 1/2" plate steel?

Sure you 'can' weld it but it's probably not ideal. I would want at least 250amps for doing something that thick.

Awesome thank you. It would need to be a powerful welder since I will be welding on my front suspension when I put the new air setup on. Should I use a gas welder or would a one like this work fine? Could you recommend some names to look at, none that are named Miller or Lincoln.

The viper series is entry level stuff, what you're doing isn't exactly entry level lol

If I had to buy a welder, I think the Razorweld210 would be a good choice.
It lists for $1000. check your inbox for price
I'd also use a flux or dual shield flux wire.

If you need more power the 250amp has a lot of balls
Details: http://www.razorweld.com/catalogue_product.asp?product=988&category=21&subcategory=85
Price is 1675
Forum member price would be good. Thats freight included (not lift gate service which is extra)

Do you really need 1/2" thick steel for your front suspension? that seems much thicker than you need. 3/16 should be good, maybe 1/4 if you really want it beefy

I'm actually just guessing. I will have to measure it tomorrow. Here is I pic of you can kinda tell from this. It's from Michigan metal works.

That looks pretty thick!

 

[Car_Guy]

Fair enough, I was not expecting you to be making control arms, i was expecting some brackets. Those are going to be high stress welds, I recommend that those are done by a professional welder.

Design wise I am not a big fan, those look really heavy for the strength, tube would be a much better choice, it could have the same or better bending resistance for less weight.

But sorry to derail a welder deal thread

I feel if you're asking questions like this on here, Car Guy is right.
The weld will be the weakest part on those monsters most likely. Have the guy that tigged it in the picture do yours.

Oh yeah I am definitely using someone who knows what they are doing. Since I have a Ford, there aren't many options to go with line a Chevy.

The guy that tagged it is a company in Michigan. He can't exactly come to my house and put everything on and we'll it for me. I'm just buying the welder and a buddy will come weld it for me. He had a welder but it may or may not be strong enough and it's at his work.

Actually the heat affected zone on either side of the bead is the weakest part of a weldament.

If the quality is similar to my Chinese AHP tig welder this is a bargain!

Gamble, how does Razorweld's QA, repair, and customer service compare to AHP in your experience?

I think the quality is higher because jasic owns their own factory. They build it to their specs and from what I have seen they really do a nice job of everything. All bolts are tight, all connections sealed from vibrating loose, plenty of foam in packaging. All the standoffs I have seen so far for daughter boards are metal. Some boards will interlock to another board for more stability. They have their stuff together.
I try to take care of any and all questions for my customers. If I can't I will reach out to Razorweld and find them. Or everyone is welcome to call Razor themselves for questions. They are very knowledgeable.

That would be the weld, not the unaffected metal anywhere else
When it fails you would see a mixture of both on one side of it.
