[Oletrucks] [old-chevy-truck] MIG Welder Opinion

[K Ohlgren]

while i would never recommend buying anything from norther tool or harbor
freight. i would recommend a flux core welder. lincoln or miller from hd, i
bought a lincoln flux core from home depot to weld most of my 58 project. yes,
you have to grind, but i grind all welds any way. but i have never run out of
gas. my welder is always ready to go and it plugs into 115 volt plug any
where. i used to stick weld for a living. unless your welding mostly 1/4'' and
up, do not buy a stick welder, especialy a cheap stick welder. i welded my
must II  x-member in with my flux core. i paid 300 for mine on sale at home
depot

the "Duracell Project" it keeps going... and going...
When I die, i want to go asleep and peaceful, not screaming and freaking out
like everyone else in the car.

Fellow ole truckers:

Looking for a little guidance.  I want to begin to learn how to weld so I need
to get a basic MIG welder.  Attached is a link from Northern Tool (part #
164611
in case the link doesn't work).  Please let me have your thoughts on it.
Would
like to keep the budget around $350.  Just need something basic (as I have no
welding experience) to start out with and if I get into it then I can step up
to
a better name like Millermatic or something.
