  1. Hello, in my days it was all imperial, rods in SWG, thin sheet can be welded with an arc welder but the cheap ones do not go low enough in amps, 1.2 mm 2 mm steel sheet or plate your going down to very thin welding rods, and as Simon said it takes some experience to do, if that's the main size of steel sheet or plate your going to do I would suggest a small mig welder and number 6 wire, it's not that difficult to learn , with sheet steel your still need a mig welder that has a low amps around 30 to 100/120 should do up to 5mm plate, gasless MIGs can be quite spitty and not give a clean weld, if you know a friendly pub owner you could borrow a CO 2 bottle, that's what I did years ago with my Cebora mig welder, but I had an inline heater, or you can get Argon bottle which does a much cleaner weld, there's plenty of U tube videos on mig welding, shame your so far as I would help getting you started, I use to run a mig welding course at the local tech college many years ago, what ever you decide to buy I am sure there will be plenty of advice from PW members,
