Re: MI: Welder
I started out by buying a basic 110v flux welder. It was hard to control the weld on sheet metal and I got a lot of burn through (then huge globs I had to grind off). For thicker metal it was fine.
I sold my flux welder and bought a 220 gas and changed the wire to .023. That brought my skill level way past amateur. I was able to make many small little tacks over and over again on the sheet metal with no burn through and as long as I spaced them out, no warpage (it took me a few times to re-learn that lesson)
I was going to buy the 110 gas versions, but since I already had a 220 plug in my garage....I figured why not?
