First off this may be better suited for the newbie section but not sure...
I am looking to learn to weld to be able to put a TnT Customs truss 1/4" steel onto a front Ford D60 Axle tube 1/2". My wife got me a Millermatic 211 MVP w/Autoset for Christmas and I am wondering if it will be up for the job or should I leave it in the box and return it to buy a larger welder. It is rated up to 3/8" steel but the tubes are 1/2" which is my concern. Also when welding different thicknesses which would you tend to lean towards on settings thinner or thicker as a starting point?
Thanks
