What it welds
The Sefaspe ARC 200Pro Stick Welder is a stick inverter with a maker-stated output of up to 200 amps on 220-volt input.
By Miller's rule of thumb of 1 amp per 0.001 inch of steel, 200 amps reaches about 0.200 in in a single pass. Amps by thickness.
The listing doesn't give a duty cycle with its amperage, which makes long beads hard to plan; the rating plate or manual should state it. Why it matters.
It needs a 240-volt circuit; have a licensed electrician install the receptacle the manual specifies. 120 V vs 240 V.
Eye protection: OSHA's minimum is shade 8 for most of this machine's range (shade 10 for stick above 160 A). Full table.
Also on the listing: a weight of 13.77 lb.
