[QUOTE="cyberslider, post: 1880026, member: 13628"] All you welders out there - I've got some projects that require welding. I have never welded before but I don't doubt that I could do it - these are fairly small projects that won't be putting anyone's life in harms way if the weld fails. Well, except for maybe a floor board patch I need to do on an old car I'm working on. I was thinking about buying this: [url]http://www.harborfreight.com/welding/mig-flux-welders/170-amp-migflux-wire-welder-22-volts-110-amps-68885.html[/url] It's a MIG/flux wire combo on sale now for 170 bucks. It is 240 volt, 20 amp. I'm not trying to get into welding to support myself and family. As I said, have a few small projects. So, I don't want to spend a fortune just for that. I was also planning on either renting or purchasing a CO2 or Argon bottle to do some MIG stuff (for the floor board work). Anyone have any experience with this equipment? Do you think it is sufficient for the guy who has a few projects but knows no one personally that can weld or owns a welder? Appreciate any constructive input. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
