Decided to make the side rails out of angle but turn it up to cradle materials for cutting and butt welding. Used some 3”x3” angle 3/8” thick. The “posts” it’s welded in is 4”x4” with 1/4” wall approximately. Rails are 8’ long. Left room to step on the trailer from the front. I’ll probably weld a step up there. This project has been migged so far but I decided I might as well weld these up with the trailblazer since it’s supposed to be a welder. Man I’m happy with this purchase. I’ll include pictures below of the first welds it’s ever made. I was burning 1/8” 6011 and started at 100amps to start but after a couple welds I adjusted it down to 90 amps. This welder welds those settings at idle. I think it’s supposed to weld up to 150amps at idle. Anyhow I’m super happy with it. You pros with the keen eye remember I wrote these were my first welds with this rig so I don’t need to hear about the undercut and other flaws you may spot.
