I have a miller 135. I dont feel it is hot enought for 11 gage (.119). Any thing thinner and it works well. Using the largest dia wire your machine will take to weld thicker steel will help. A propane torch to preheat also helps. Try to not use an extention cord . #10 wire from fuse box to plug also helps. A friend that teaches welding thinks that most 110 units are borderline for welding 1/8 steel. Mark
