   Jim, everyone   
      
   Reality for most - first response is from "industrial" situation with   
   3-phase power, etc.   
      
   Second response from anyone working in a shed, in your yard, etc.  Hi   
   everyone {wave} !   
   NOTHING beats the fusion power per Amp of a 7018 rod.   
   You can weld any thickness (no upper limit) of steel from a wall-socket   
   electric power supply with 7018.  Certainly in the UK with 13A from a   
   240V supply.  You can run a 3.2mm / 1/8th-inch 7018 to max. current from   
   that domestic wall-socket, especially with an inverter welding set (very   
   efficient - high-90's% of power goes into the welding arc).   
      
   So you have to keep running welds until you build up the weld size you   
   need.  But you can get there with what you have.   
      
   7018 properties are really good.  Is both tough and strong.   
      
   So I offer another completely different response.   
   Which is equally true.
