[Shop-talk] Welders

[Doug Braun]

About 8 years ago I bought the higher-end 120-volt
Lincoln MIG welder to do some repairs on my Spitfire.
It has the continuously-variable voltage feature.
I recommend that for British cars, which have thinner
sheet metal than most cars.  Naturally you will want a
gas bottle and regulator, since flux-core is messier
on thin work.  (Even so, I sometimes switch from
MIG to flux-core to do thicker work.)

The machine has worked fine, and I have gotten more
use from it while working on my '31 Ford (see
31ford.dougbraun.com).
