That was interesting didn't know there was 3/4" electrodes, the biggest rod I use is 3/16, even then .045 mig wire is lot faster.

Well if you did manage you’d have to get the cutting torch out.

Can you imagine the heat coming off of that welding process...

I love seeing some of the cool welding processes. A buddy of mine runs a pressure vessel fabrication shop. They welded a vessel a while back that had a 9" shell thickness. It was a 60" diameter vessel and it took over 2200 lbs of filler metal just to weld the head on it, all 304 stainless steel. They used MIG for the weld process.

I barley keep a 3/32 rod lit with my everlast... tried 6010 and 6011, no difference. I'll take my transfomer machine any day over this everlast
If you're just learning to weld, you sure don't want a machine like this
