Yes, it is possible , however it depends on the type of joint you are trying to weld, and how structural you need it to be . Generally the low amperage of these machines lack the penetration needed for thicker metals. But with proper joint preparation IE. beveling the edges, and using flux core wire , along with multiple passes , you could achieve a good weld. Also it should be noted that these machines have a low duty cycle , meaning that, in order to weld thicker metals the machine must be used at it's highest settings , effectively shortening the amount of time you have to make a certain length of weld, which in this case is short. Usually a 20% duty cycle means at it's high settings , you can only weld 2 mins. out of every 10 mins, this is to avoid overheating the machine.
In my experiences with 110 machines I've found that for strength 1/16" is a good thickness. Argon/co2 seems to work better than coated wire for metals thicker than that 1/8" - 5/32". 1/4" is usually too thick to weld as the heat is pulled away from the weld area producing poor or no weld. Remember, this is a "short arc" process. The arc is not on long enough to melt thick material.
6010 is a high cellulose sodium based electrode, which can be used to weld carbon steel pipes.
No, I can't.
The three ways you would weld stainless steel are; 1. laser 2. friction 3. TIG Only TIG should be considered for nonproduction welding.

Yes, you can weld steel to steel. You can use steel welding rod.
Yep, you can weld steel to stainless and you can weld stainless to steel. You can use steel or stainless welding rod in either case but the steel or steel welding rod will of course rust.
Tig, mig , or If you are as good as me stick welding will all work

You can weld stainless steel to stainless steel using various welding methods such as TIG welding and MIG welding. However, it is best to get a professional to do the job. And understand that stainless steel does not weld very successfully under any circumstances - it will almost always, inevitably, break right next to the weld.

about 2mm mild steel max
6010 is a high cellulose sodium based electrode, which can be used to weld carbon steel pipes.
After cleaning the steel and glass, use JB weld to bond glass to Steel.

No, they are too dissimilar. You'd have to braze them.
