1/2" is more than wishful thinking. I have tried to run a 120 amp110V welder on 1/4" and it wouldn't penetrate much at all. The small units are good for up to about 1/8" from what I have seen. Good for what they are built for, but a 220V is best for 1/4" plus, especially if it is structural in any way.
