Bob,

There's a long story about small flux core MIG welders. They generally lack the power to produce a satisfactory weld on steel plate, tube, or angle and attempt to overcome that issue by relying on the unique physics that goes on with a hollow, flux-core electrode.

Often the equipment can be rented.

These small 115 Volt welders are sold, and used successfully, every day and are appropriate for the gauge application you intend it for. I'm sorry I cannot make any recommendation on electrode type or diameter.

regards,
d
