Anyway, I was wondering if when welding two different thicknesses of metal together you should bevel the edge of the thicker piece? See drawing below.
I'm assuming I should try and aim the MIG wire mostly towards the thicker piece. Is this correct?

Thanks,

If you prep the weld like that it should weld very nice
You will need a good 120 amps and 0.8 wire

John,

I got the .8 (.030") wire so I'll use that. Where should I aim the wire at?
