is it used for welding

I never tried using it for welding. I mainly use it for spray painting. Works perfect!

I'm sure they make masks big enough to use with it but typically... You would need a face shield I think. As far as vapors being filtered out, yes it would do it. As far as full face protection and vision protection? I would look elsewhere. The silicone could probably be easily damaged by sparks.

I use it for woodworking. Not sure how it would work for welding. Personally, I would be a it leery about sparks and how well it would fit under a welding mask.

No, Flame welding has it's place but an Arc Welder is what you need. You may want to consider a low end TIG Wire Welder. TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas which reduces oxidation as you weld.

I wouldn't think so. It's a nice beginner mask for tig,mig and stick. But then if i use a grinder after welding it gets dark on and off quickly depending how many sparks I throw. Kind of annoying. Using the gas rigs it goes in and out while cutting. I don't think it's meant for that.

It is not good for smooth welding. There ware many small holes in the welded area.

No Way! For soldering both materials to be soldered together must be heated, together with the soldering agent, namely, tin, lead, etc. Guns like this, as good as they are, for small stuff like wires and maybe jewelry, won't do big stuff. A flaming torch is needed for copper pipes and such, and you'll need an arc welder for steel anything larger than real small, thin stuff. For aluminum: I've never soldered, but I'm told "tig" welding is necessary.

It most certainly can.This is a great machine for the money.The key to such thin material is to weld slow,and give it a chance to cool.And as far smaller welder don't waste your time or money.Hope this helps.

I wouldn't try, this item is a piece of scrap metal, I've bought 2 and both broke, bought a welder and saved it.

I use mine for mig welding and they are awesome - perfect for mig welding. But they are not strictly speaking fire-proof.

yes, you need to get an aluminum spool, use argon only, no mix, and preheat the object being welded

It cannot weld aluminum. This welder is DC only and aluminum requires AC. It will work fine for stainless steel and regular steel.

yes, as long as the plug is the same. the current needed is what you need for the welder.

Yes. It has an optional spool gun with a 20 foot cable specifically for aluminum welding. Also, it comes set uo for gas.

I use it for my welder and matched all specifications.You need to compare the wire sizing to amperage

I've never use it on metal. I bought this unit specifically to weld aluminum. I've never weld any thing before (metal or else). But I was able to weld very thin aluminum (1/8" and 1/16") aluminum. The chart settings are a bit off but with couple of minutes try and error, it works. I would choose one with many settings vs capped ones. Like I said above, it makes me almost a pro instantly.

No, it is used to melt solder which holds copper together or to hold copper to a circuit board.

Yes, it can for a flux welder I'm very impressed. I've welded car panels two steel rods together and a broken sway bar. Just do the necessary prep work. and no galvanized steel the fumes are dangerous.

Caleb, if it was sheet metal (thin) with mapp gas, maybe, For me I would try to pickup a small oxy-acetylene used set, much hotter flame and you can use it for brazing, welding, cutting, and heating.
