Yeah me too. 3 inch high pressure steam line.
A hole punch (known also as a holing pincer, hole puncher, hole maker, or rarely perforator, or paper puncher) is a common office tool that is used to create holes in sheets of paper, often for the purpose of collecting the sheets in a binder or folder. A leather punch, of different construction from one designed for paper, is used for leather goods.
The origins of the hole punch date back to Germany via Matthias Theel, where two early patents for a device designed to "punch holes in paper" have since been discovered. Friedrich Soennecken made his patent on November 14, 1886, for his Papierlocher für Sammelmappen

This thread has been fun...
Mig is plenty capable of thick metal. I watched a guy weld growsers onto a D10 with a mig...

Yeap er70 wire on an able machine will do tow points just fine.

Should have bought a Jeep
All kinds of ways to engineer structural strength without a ton of weld. A tow point could be drilled, pinned, and then weld the pin, etc.
It's like knitting...Once you get your heat right, (around 75-90 amps with a 220 volt AC buzzbox) you "weave" a pattern in small left/right zigzag movements, gradually climbing upward and bringing the puddle with you. Too slow, and the puddle will drip. Too fast, and it will look lumpy, and the slag will not curl up, and peel off like it will if the travel speed is right.
If you weld with AC, smaw, you are a knitter, not a welder.
I guarantee you it's DCrp around 120-125 amps pictured.
Nice bead huis clus. You're a welder.
I used to weld 1/8 7018 all day with a 300 amp DC Lincoln "torpedo" welder. I assumed most folks on here, would have an AC box...my mistake.
Not sayin YOUR a knitter, but 7018ac is kinda like a harbor freight mig welder, hence knitting
Mine have 3 bigass rosette type welds in them that are essentially it's preheat to the rest of the mig welding done on them.
Guarantee If I randomly grabbed a stick of 7018 and ran up hill without practicing it would not look that nice. Even the edges are filled in consistently w no undercut left un filled from the previous pause of the puddle. That's textbook right there !
I'm going to avoid anyone telling me about my crappy welds by using hot rivets for a bumper build...

The mig machine I have, Hobart MVP not capable and I don't want to use fcaw or more than one pass.
