Re: Welder

I started out many yrs ago with a Lincoln 220 stick...then went with a Miller 235 stick
From there I moved to a Hobart 185 mig..been using that for near 30 yrs.. its starting to act funny and I fear it's near its lifes end
Probably gonna catch it here, but I recently bought a Vulcan 220 mig/tig/stick.. will run on 110 or 220v
For the price , this is a unbelievably good welder.. at harbor freight...I know I know..
They just sell it, they dont build it..
I work Industrial maintenance..at work they replaced several defective Miller tig rigs that cost over $3500 each with the Vulcans..
I've never tigged much, but I tig welded up my entire stainless exhaust system on the IH.. I'm impressed
If you go tig, you'll need 100% argon...on mig you'll need a mix 75/25..
So if you want both you'll have to have 2 bottles
