What it welds
The VEVOR MIG-250 MIG Welder is a MIG / gas with a maker-stated output of up to 250 amps on 120-volt input.
At its top output of 250 amps, Miller's 1-amp-per-thousandth rule points to about 1/4 in of steel per pass. Where the rule comes from.
The listing doesn't give a duty cycle with its amperage, which makes long beads hard to plan; the rating plate or manual should state it. Why it matters.
Processes, per the maker: MIG, gas MIG, MMA. Check which torches and guns come in the box; a TIG torch or spool gun is often extra. Process guide.
It runs solid wire under shielding gas (gasless) for the cleanest wire-feed welds; most machines like it also run flux-core wire outdoors.
A 120-volt machine runs from a household circuit, usually a 20-amp one per the manual. 120 V vs 240 V.
Eye protection: OSHA's minimum is shade 10 for most of this machine's range. Full table.
Also on the listing: dimensions of 7.09 x 7.09 x 12.6 inches and a weight of 17.38 lb.
