Welding cables?

Usually, the bigger the machine at auction, the cheaper they are, lathes, mills, welding, etc. Not much use for a light duty occasional welding... I'm a true blue guy, but there's some nice chinese stuff out there, like yes welder, and some others, multi purpose machines. Flip what you have and buy an inverter machine you can pickup with one hand, and plug it into 120v house current if you want...

I just the other day talked to a guy whose has a iron working business for decades. Very well experienced
He told me he has a Miller (I think) 120 volt inverter machine that he can run 3/32 7018 wire with and it welds exceptionally well. He uses it on smaller jobs and he is able to take his smaller pickup rather than the bigger rig
Of course he's not welding 8 hours with that machine but for those smaller type jobs he says it can't be beat
