Need new welder
Have any advice? around 1100.00 is what I have to spend. More if needed to get something of quality...Thanks...
Somewhat depends on what you are going to be doing with it.
Just sheet metal patches.?
Sheet metal one day and 1/4" plate all day the next?
Or do you just need a stick welder to fix a farmer's manure spreader?
If you are welding aluminum then you need a TIG or a spool gun.
115volt ? 220volt? 115/ 220 combo ?
We are on the Lincoln deal at work.
I use a 180 Dual most every day. I could be welding sheet metal one minute and 1/8" or 1/4" plate the next. Seems to work well.
I have a Miller 175 at home.
Some of the "pros" on the interweb seem to use Everlast. I have never used one so l can not say.
Best l can say is do some homework and / or visit your local welding supply store. ( not Tractor Supply or Home Depot) - - ok to purchase there but you will not get any technical knowledge there.
Saying you need a new welder is like saying you need a new car.
Are you happy with a Pinto. Or would you like a Hellcat?
