Hi David, I use a lightweight torch but for many years I used a full size torch. I have welded with dosens of torches over the years and found them to be much the same.The problem as I see it with jewelers torches is just that, they are intended to work on tiny things so will become overheated when used on thicker material, this can lead to all sorts of difficulty with the welding process.

Welding a doorskin is always going to give you problems because it is almost flat and a large expance. It can be done but mig is not going to give great results on something like that in my opinion.

David
