You didn't finish reading the statement.....

Yes I did, you said- What is wrong with a 110 welder? What will a 220 welder do for me that my 110 can't? If it's penetrate, I beg to differ.

You are wrong.

Open up the door and look at the chart. It shows a setting for .030 solid wire and C25 for 12 guage(not even 1/8) with nothing thicker listed for that wire and gas combo right? You don't have enough welder for what you want to do with it. If you are going to sell someone a axle you have welded suspention brackets onto that will be driven on the road or even off do it right. A 90 amp machine wont get the job done.

I've done lots of 8.8's over the past 2 years, 6 last month alone. None of them have had any troubles and I know at least two of them running 40" tires. If I wasn't getting any penetration/flow on my welds, this wouldn't be possible.

No, I said...

It works great for what I need it for, and that is under 1/4", more like 3/16" and under. Granted, a 220 welder could weld up some nice 1/2" + plate, but I don't need to do that....

How thick are the tubes on an 8.8?

How thick are the tubes on an 8.8?

1/4" I believe. The one I have sitting here I haven't started on yet and is still completely together. I have 3 D44's, D30, a short arm and long arm lift that needs to be done first. But if I remember right, the axle tubes are 3.25" x .25". Maybe someone else can confirm that...
