Yes. Buy some small wire, flip your grooved wheel, and change your contact tip. Then start playing. Once you get the trigger rhythm and timing its fun (until then you just make holes, or no penetration and get frustrated). Last year when I started welding on another project with thin metal I learned real fast. that .030 doesn't work. No matter how far down I turned it. The wire needs to melt before the surrounding metal. None of this is running a bead. All stitched small spot here and there to not get too hot. Fine adjustment on the heat and wire speed make the world of difference. I don't know jack about welders compared to other welders but I am running a Miller 180 with auto set feature. I don't use the auto set for this work as I can fine tune way better than it can.
