Thickest I have welded so far with 6013 was 1".
I have a piece of scrap railroad track that I use as an anvil and wanted to make the top surface bigger.
Welded on an additional 1" square bar.
Went overboard a bit - I think I used five or six 3.2mm rods!
One interesting thing I noticed when cleaning up the top end with and angle grinder is that I cannot see the difference between the metal of the railroad track and the welds. The colour / texture looks identical.
Damn I love being able to stick pieces of metal together.
I really need to get some more metal - it seems that all the pieces of scrap metal I had lying around has now been welded together.
