China welding machines

Most of these cheap import welders are adequate enough for the hobbyist as long as its not being used for any type of structural or pressure work
They would never hold up under any kind of commercial/industrial work.
Its like comparing a cheap piano to a Steinway


A question Steve. How many home welders are building structural steel and pressure vessels?

I would build a complete mild steel race car chassis with my welder and not be afraid to strap you in it for a few runs.

For the most part the weldor is far more critical than the welder.
