will the weld 20 gauge. Lets say a 20 gauge steel 55 gal barrel?

Absolutely, you'll be supprised with what this little guy can do! My friends have welded their pick-up tail gates together with this welder. You might have to take a little more time doing it but, rest assured that this is a quality product with making a beautiful weld. It's extremely portable and efficient. Don't expect to weld a car chassis but you'll weld 55g drums all day.

I am not a professional welder but have two of these welders (usually I hire someone to do my welding especially at my age). I can tell you this, I have an older 40' International bus with thick steel and the welder has successfully welded hinges and solar panels and racks and steps and pull-up bar etc. Unless you have a reason to do so, I would not buy that "other" type of wire that's kind of brassy looking (I made the mistake thinking it might be okay but that type of wire is for something with gas)....just get the cheap stuff on amazon or home depot or lowes or wherever and be done with it.

I believe it will. The dimensions are the same other than barrel length so yes, it will just protrude more.

I would say you would not have a problem welding 3/16 with it, I welded some sch40 carbon steel pipe with great results, this is a very good welder.

i really don't think so.jb weld dries hard and rubber will flex and expand.

If this helps I've used it on a 20 gauge 18.5 870 Remington it works fine shouldn't be much different.

I have not tried it. The paperwork says 20 or 22 gauge max. The blade is sharp enough to cut but I don't know if the mechanism is strong enough. I did cut off some 3/32 welding rod (I used the stop so I had the same length parts). I had to bump the lever with my hand to snap them off. It left a flat on both sides of the rod. It is a nice LITTLE machine. I bought it for the rolling feature. Have not used it very much yet.

Hi! Yes, it works with 18 gauge.....I use 22 for most of my projects and am very happy but, have used it for for different gauges.

No it's not 20 gauge. I searched for 20 gauge and purchased this wire based on the search. Had to reorder the right gauge.

Yes, the steel is pretty heavy gauge, and I use it with a bayou classic outdoor propane burner. You can also mod it with a step drill bit i.e. add thermometer, spigot, etc. I would definitely recommend it for brewing.

It probably won't measure correctly. The idea here is that the gauge reads empty when it is hooked to the exact weight of a standard 20 lb. tank. Let's say that's 5 lbs. If your 30 lb. tank weighs 7 lbs. when empty, the needle on this would still read above empty. You could only really use this if you weighted your tank when it is empty and custom marked that as the new zero or empty value. Also, I don't know how well this would tolerate weighing your tank at full weight.

I have no idea of a comparison to the 140 model. I have welded quite a bit of 18 gauge (with .030 wire) with ease and small amounts of thinner materials down to around .030 as I recall. It has been fabulous with everything I have tried. There is still about 25% of the voltage knob to turn down when I am at 18 gauge, and I would expect it would do fine. Sure I paid a bit for it, though I am 100% satisfied and glad I did.

Yes but be compliant if you're in possession of correct form. Here are the specs: Steel, parkerized, matte black finish. .860" (2.2cm) O.D., 2½" (6.4cm) long. 3.1 oz. (81g) wt. Fits barrels with ½"-28 tpi right-hand threads.

I used some of the 22 degree without a problem. I've used Bostich guns for 30 years prior to this gun & this is as good as any I've used.t's a great nailer

The quick and easy answer is NO. Although you could back bore the barrel and thread it 22x.75 so it will. The tools to do it with cost more than the Stevens shotgun, so you have to really want to do it to justify the cost and effort. BTW, back boring a barrel to reduce t\it's outside diameter is not a job for a beginner.

Yes it will. If you were speaking of shot guns orb heavy caliber rifles (338-378, etc.) with 28 and 30 inch barrels then it would be and issue. The thickness of your barrel is irrelevant.

I doubt it would work. The design depends on surface tension to hold the shells. 20 gauge would be too small.

Yes, as long as it's 5-40 thread. You will probably need to trim the end as it will protrude into the barrel.
