I was talking about a MIG, but your right on with the arc.
I will say that I can easily weld 10 gauge steel with some 1/16 6013 rod as I have done it many times. It ain't bragging if you can do it. But I would prefer to TIG at those Gauges of metal. It is easier. I have welded my old junky lawnmower frame many times with 1/16 inch rod back in the day before I had TIG and I was beating the frame to death trying to mow 7 acres of rough ground with it. It can be done...
