  • Welder?

    Ive been looking around for a good 115v welder. I dunno whether it should be MIG or TIG. I want to weld some exhaust pipe for my maro. I have about 200 - 350$ for one. I dont want anything professional, just something that will get the job done.

    So what do you guys have? What type of welder do you use?

      I have a Miller (Hobart) 140w welder. Miller and Lincoln are probably the best 110v Migs out there. Just a point of advice; Get a tank of Argon/C02 along with the tank, and non-flux wire. Your welds will be smoother and ALOT cleaner!

          As long as it works...that's all that matters!

          Also, check the back of your welder. Most Migs have a port to allow for a tank to be attached. If so, try the Argon/C02 with non-flux wire. You'll be amazed how different the weld bead lays down when using gas!

              I was thinking of getting a welder.

              how hard is it to teach yourself... Its becoming too big of a pain needing to get **** welded. I am looking to maybe invest in it.


              how are the chicago electric(sounds like harbour freight special stuff)

                  I know you mentioned chicago Electric(typical harbour freight brand)

                  but may want to check out the Hobart, and other ones at www.northerntool.com they are reasonably priced adn I woudl trust them more then a chicago electric.

                    yeah, the chicago electric is cheap but I've had it for over 4 years and used it for countless projects. hasn't failed on me yet.
