1st time welder

Ecuadart66 said

I think it makes sense to buy something cheap because I have never welded and I all I have planned so far is a mini tub and move the springs. With that being said I have 300-400 dollars MAX to spend.

Is there a welder out there that is within my price range and can do the job I need it to?

Scan craigslist for lincoln or miller welders. You'll be surprised what's out there. Stick with the ones I mentioned. Not a fan of the weldpak lincolns. For what you want to do, you won't need a giant machine get at least a 135 amp. It's nice to have but not necessary.

I've seen miller 135's with a bottle for under $400 on occasion. Be patient.
