Keep in mind it is cheap, but it works! Duty cycle is only 20% at 90a and I've had it stop and needed to cool down, but so does my $500 Miller unit too.  It's good with 1/8" material I typically weld with it. |
Here's the gate I built with the Harbor Freight MIG welder. I'ts .125 tube welded to .0625 slats. I've since gone to MIG /gas and love it!
I embedded the wheel inside the lower support to eliminate gaps in the bottom. I replaced a make-shift swing gate with a nice sliding gate.
