welder advice
aloha metalheads, long time no see...
my friend wants to know what to buy (more or less) and I thought I'd come here and do some asking for him. this is what he wrote me : " I find myself being polite since I have a question to ask of you. Then I plan on reverting to my sarcastic true self. My inner white trash. ANyway, I am looking to buy a MIG welder, don't plan on welding big pieces, furniture using tubing 16/18 gage walls, bars up to 1/2 inch or so and I was looking at a Hobart around $500. Do you have experience with such things? What advice would you have before I revert to my old self? What are your preferences/ prejudices? " t.i.a. Dar/SHELTECH http://www.sheltech.net |
