A friend at work just bought an old golf cart to lug equipment around but found the battery box & frame rusted out and asked me to weld up the frame. I can arc & gas weld and wanted to buy this inex
I am one of the first to champion HF junk. But, if you want something disposable, get that welder. If you want something that can last you a lifetime, get a Lincoln. If you want something really good
Just for clarification, here, from one who is professionally involved with welding (but not a welder by profession): Lincoln welders are every bit as good as Miller. I see both used, equally, every d
The 110v units are fine for autobody steel, and up to maybe 1/4" can be single-pass welded. Stay away from the flux core wire. It just doesn't work well on light sheet steel, unless there have been
Hi Bud, I was going to use it on a friends golf cart frame. Should I just go with the MIG and use that on the frame as I was going to get a MIG this year for body work on my Sprite. Lin
Get a 110V Lincoln welder w/MIG kit. MIG welding is very easy compared to other types of welding. Get a tank of C25 which is 75% CO2 and 25% Argon. Before you weld something important practice on sim
So You are saying that the welder would be an Arc welder with a MIG attachment? I am narrowing down some MIGs on eBay as well as craigslist. I am trying to keep with the Millers as Frank mentioned h
I concur with Derf. I have a Miller Cricket (no longer made under that name) with the CO2 / Argon gas kit. Great little unit (110 volts). Plenty good for sheet metal, but when I had a tractor I was a
Yeah, maybe. But, try to get that little Italian sucker serviced by your friendly, local welding supply house. Just stick to the Lincolns and Millers (some also like the Hobarts), and you will have d
While I agree that Lincoln and Miller are good, Hobart as well (relabled Miller so i'm told). I purchased a odd brand called Firepower, it is a MIg with gas attachment. I took a welding class at the
Some Lincolns have the MIG kit included. The MIG kit is a different gun/cord, gas regulator, hose, and solenoid. The Lincoln I have will work with or without gas but if you don't use gas then you ne
I've had a 110v Lincoln mig for 15+ years. The only trouble I had was buggering up the wire feed area that comes out of the box when it rolled around in the truck during transport. Fixed easily at a
I've used the Lincolns, Millers, and Hobarts. I bought the little Italian MIG. I've been using it for thirteen years and it hasn't needed servicing yet, but parts are still available online. Local ha
I thought I might weigh in. I have a Lincoln SP100, a 110v machine, allegedly 100a output. It has a continuously variable voltage control, not found on most inexpensive machines. This has been very
I'll throw in my two cents.I have had a Daytona mig for about ten years now, I've done a bunch of welding with it and it still works fine. It it the smallest one they sell, made in Italy. It does NO
You did what EVERYONE should do, before buying a welder: take local vocational/technical school. It'll be the best money you've spent on welding, and you'll burn-up more steel & consumables in class
