helps having a small rod  

Ahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaha,do you get that alot?

[OHEARN.2012]

And a steady hand, lmao - you cant be a shaky dave or whatever.. Limit your coffee intake in the morning to 1-2 cups and eat a good brkfst

I was told once by an old welding instructor  "Good welders are lazy"   If you have the chance to lean on something to steady yourself your much better off!

lol i always try to do that balancing my hand off suin to limit shaking

[OHEARN.2012]

yea i used arc in metal shop welding together 2 pieces of 2inch square tubing and welded pretty good but someone swapped out the rods i was using and it instantly burnt threw

i bought a cheap mig welder, $800, and i wish i wouldve just saved and bought the miller i have now the first time. depends how much you plan on welding. duty cycle is important also

[old school truck dude]

Duty cycle is everything! You cant weld if the machine cant produce! They get hot and weld quality goes down. The longer the duty cycle, the better the machine.

['the DON']

hobart handler . its a 220  and it works great best $ i ever spent . i think you can get them for under 800

[Chevy Racer]

got my 110v and 220v lincoln migs and haven't had an issue out of them yet besides the 220v don't like running the spool gun.   needed more power.

I Got A 220 Lincon, I Love It....Pretty Impressed With The 220 Hobart Too!

[MUD KING]

I like the miller and lincoln, but this boy could only afford the hobart. I got the ironman from TSC. Gotta say for 1/3 the price of the big names, the hobart kicks azz. Oh and my hobart actually has a miller lead and gun! lol I think they are kinda usin alot of the same stuff.

Hobart 235 AC this machine welds very smooth, but requires a 50 amp and no less outlet. Hard to find a place to plug it in, as most homes have only 30 amp (like for a dryer or range). Something to consider when you buy a machine is do you have the necessary power readily available to run it. My main is only 60 amp, I cant run this machine at home.




I've got the 235/160 ac/dc welder, the next step up, I love it

[7d9_z28]

use all miller at work, i weld with em everyday, like em

but lincoln makes one called the handy mig that might be worth looking into

[wayne w]

stay away from harbor freight thay will weld but not verry good
