Help choosing a hobby MIG welder
Hi all,
For the past coupla year I have been contmplating getting a small MIG welder for doing repairs and small metal projects. I need one that will work with household current. Seems that most of these can weld up to 3/16 in- probaly more than enough for my needs. I am leaning towards using flux core wire instead of gas. In my area I can get Lincoln, Century, Miller or Hobart. This is only for occasional use so I don't need the top-of-the-line but don't want to be stuck with a junker either. I would appreciate input on any of these brands as to their pro/cons. Thanks, Gene -- This message has been scanned by Norton Anti-virus software |
