Canadian Tire has a sale on MIG welders this week.
Has anyone ever bought one from them? The two machines in question are
both 115V, 70A units... one is a wire-feed and the other uses flux-wrapped
wire.
I'd like to know experiences and advice... most pressing of course- will
they weld sheet metal without wrecking it?
The cheap one is $150 cdn. Features appear to be spartan. It's got a big
knob on the front and a switch, little else. It's red.
The nicer one (I am thinking of this one...) is $350. It's got a smaller
picture in the flyer but it looks like there are more controls on the box
and it's a wire-feed. I don't know where/how the gas is supplied. The
flyer blurb says "With electronic wire speed control. Requires no gas
regulator to weld. Runs on 115V input power. Welds up to 3/16" steel".
Please respond ASAP, the sale ends this sunday (15th)
thanks,
-Malcolm
