I picked this baby up today from my local pawn shop. It's a fire power fp130 company. What's the best company to order my new floor any input would be great .
Is there a gas bottle with this system? You're gonna have a hard time welding sheet metal if this is a flux core only.
#1. Sheet metal is the single hardest steel to try and learn on when learning to weld. Even for seasoned welders with good equipment, it's real easy to make a mess, real quick.
Flux core burns hotter than mig wire at the same setting, and by the time you get enough amperage set to melt adequately, it's too hot to weld sheet metal. Add in the fact that one of the two metals you're trying to weld to is galvanized, and you have a real challenge in front of you.
#2. Alternately, it makes a mess as it is, with all the spatter, and smoke residue, if you can get it low enough to not burn through, then you have an even bigger mess to deal with.
If you've read anything I write, you'll know that I'm way less of a "you can do it" optimist when it comes to some areas of expertise. I think it's far better to let you know what you're up against before you burn through, warp, and have to compromise the welds by grinding the welded sheet metal back down to get them tolerable enough to consider the body work that follows.
