dont think i would be puuting that any were near a engine , think i would frame it

 

no ---- i would be afraid i would get it dirty hahaha

Ya normally that'd be a 300-400 amp weld.
Then again maybe he's using a very strong bias to DC- and using helium and a very fast frequency. Right off the bat if he uses a mostly helium mix the voltage required to stabalize the arc will jump around 50% at the same amperage setting. Boom more penitration more heat per amp by a boatload. Now 200amps is more 275-325amp ish right off the bat. Now crank the frequency up and turn it it more to DCEN (and try not to wind up with a black scummy weld) and a 200amp inverter will weld it.


Who knows what he did - but that's how you weld 10mm plate with a 200amp welder

I understand, I can weld that well myself, and most of my work is industrial, there just doesn't seem to be any guys around here that can or have the goal to weld like this.

 

that looks pretty expensive right there
