    I'm no expert welder or anything but it doesn't seem like the welds are penetrating that well

    It's nice of them to leave a gap for it and the bolts to use to hold it in. That must come with a higher model..

    You won't penetrate on anything over thin sheet metal with a harbor freight 90 amp.

    Did some reading online and the best angle for penetration is 0-10* from perpendicular of base metal. The angle I'm at is in the range of 45-60*. Plus I'm welding on metal towards the upper ends of the weldable spectrum.

    do some research online. I'd say with two pieces of metal you'd want the bead to look as if it is actually bonding. I'm no expert tho and I'm sure someone else could chime in.
    I'd also have to agree with this. How thick is that metal?
    maybe start a weld thread and see if you can get some good pointers.

    I'd find some scrap 3/16 and give her a go. Might be a good way to learn but I wouldn't use it for heavy duty welding.
