I have the hankering to buy a welder, probably a wire feed type. I

at one on sale at "The Tractor Store". It was 110V input which is what

want. 85 Amp output. Uses .030, 035, or 040 wire. Biggest problem I
see
is that the instruction book said for metal up to 3/16'th inch. Tha'ts
not
very thick, I'D prefer maybe up to 3/8'th inch, or more.

I'd really appreciate some of the features I need to look for in a wire
welder.

BTW: I don't really have a need for one, it is just one of those things
I
want. I might be better off to forget it altogether.

Your thoughts please.

Bob, asking about welder advice in a home repair forum is like asking
for home repair advice in a welder forum.


Wow, aren't we politically correct today?

There are lots of people here who have welding experience to go along with
their home repair experience. Me, ferinstance. I'm happy to help people,
and they don't have to belong to any little clique. I guess you haven't
been here long. We gets lots of questions about welding and metal repairs
here.
