Lincoln makes a nice unit and it's easy to get parts anywhere. Also check out Miller equipment. I was a production welder for many years and we used Miller equipment in the shop.

sheet metal is a thinner metal than angle iron,and any welder and the proper rod will work just fine,but thin metal ,you need a cetylene and oxygen bottle system.. it will do you a better job. unless you are a so so fine welder that can take a 6011 rod and make it not burn through this thin stuff.. the welding field is technical nowa days.and the lincoln is the proven welder of the four..

The Best over-all welder for the heavy to light stuff is still the Lincoln Welder that runs on 220. It has settings for all types of jobs even cutting. Get the "stick" welder and a hand full of 6013 rods and practice practice........These welders can sometimes be bought at farm auctions or used via the local paper. They last forever and you will be happy with the longevity.

Personally, I prefer Miller brand....have had problems in the shop with other brands more often than with with Miller.
