northwestern middle tn | If it is just carbon steel I wouldn't worry about the preheat, you
will have it up to heat after the first couple of rods. If you are
determined to preheat 200-250 degrees is what the preheat is
on it. If I understand what you are wanting to do correctly,
you need about a 1/2" fillet weld around the tubing to the plate.
I like stick rods better than wire feed, 7018 is what I would use.
Pre heat is more important when dealing with metal with chrome
in it.
You figured it out while I was typing!
