Welder Recommendations?

Postby KF5ZXT » Wed Dec 12, 2012 10:53 am

What welder would you guys recommend? I'm thinking I need to go ahead and upgrade my 110v Lincoln MIG welder for something that can handle all of the welding needs of a 4x4. (3/8" tick tube walls, up to 1/2" plate, etc.) I'm thinking one that is set up for gas, and 220v. I'm also leaning MIG, as that seems to be the most attainable skill set, haha.

Thanks for your recommendations.

I have always been a fan of the stick welder. It does require the welder to chip off the slag. However you can use a wide variety of sticks to weld different alloyes. This is the type of welder used in the pipe line industry. It can give a weld that penetrates deep in the metal.

Just my 2 cents.

I was working with an artist friend last night, and she swears that TIG is easier than MIG. I thought that was interesting.

How to make a bumper with a welder you can buy from any home improvement store.

Yo bro, I'm thinking about looking for a TIG welder (I like the extra control that my reason, in the lack of any actual experience, tells me I would get,) so if you are interested in getting a MIG we could definitely collaborate and share experiences. Or even if you don't we could definitely try out the TIG together too, I'm sure your wife could think of some project we could use it on for practice haha. I want to throw away all those old P.O.S. cabinets that Ma and Da have in the garage to clear it out and make it a usable work space, and I figure I could make amends (you know how mom is about throwing anything away) by making them some cool shelves for the walls and practice welding at the same time. I've read that the penetration is a little better with TIG which, in my mind at least, seems to make it more suited to structural use. Don't crucify me for that last statement if it's total crap team Demon, like I said, it was just something I read somewhere, and I'm sure an experienced welder can get good penetration whether it's MIG, TIG, Arc, or getting Lōc-ed after dark sans pants in the park.
About as close to unreality, as never being, ever was.

Lmao. Tig is supposedly harder to learn than mig, but other than that, collaborating sounds like a plan.

Tig is a giant pain in the butt...it's not hard to learn, same principle as most welding. Getting the 'touch'...that's the hard part lots & lots & even lots more practice. I've got about 50hrs of tig, pretty much gave up...i was getting there, but just didn't have enough call for tig to keep going.....s'all a matter of practice...but most backyard projects mig & traditional arc is enough for me. Tig is the better weld once you 'get it', but I'm not a custom shop or producing tons of parts.....
