i can blow through 5/16" plate at 100amps because of the 48v at max amperage output. makes keeping the puddle tricky but it really gets the job done slightly uglier than usual, and at less amperage. its kinda fun, can almost cut 1/4" plate with it O0 ---- plasma, im all for epectrode madness yo.

i picked up a 130amp mig off of hf the other day:
