I just bought this for myself, because my existing little lightweight welder cannot weld the thick stuff. I’m planning to make a DIY tube bender and I will need to weld some 1/4" thick stuff and a little bit of 1/2" thick stuff. (Note: this is an affiliate link.)

Also, they have a great deal on a 5000 watt step-up/step-down transformer, which can get you 200v for the welder, from a 110v outet. (Note: this is an affiliate link.) I use one of these with my plasma cutter and my electromagnetic sheet metal brake and it works great.
