I have a Lincoln WelPak 100 that works nice. It came as a flux core process, but I got the MIG conversion and love it. It won't do 1/4", I think it stops around 14g steel. I know it will weld something as thick as a matress frame not that I was practicing on one...

My lincoln sp-135+ welds like a champ on the 3/16 with a good power supply. I wonder if yours is pulling too much amperage for the circuit you have it plugged into?
If you do use an extension cord, I wouldnt use one longer then 10ft and its needs to be a 10 gauge cord or better. If you need one let me know. I've made a few for folks that are nice and think and doesnt drop the amperage. I only make them in 10 ft lengths though.

Im not too familiar with welders, what would be a good welder that welds 12 gauge stainless and say up to 1/4-1/2 mild steel...I dont want to spend a ton on a welder looking around for the $500 range...What do you guys think about this one and how does it compare to the lincoln Sp-135 plus??

But, I rarely weld anything larger than 3/16" anyway ...
