I no longer have access to a welder as my welding guy sold his, and my project is dead in the water w/o a welder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
So i'm thinking about buying one and saw this at Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...Itemnumber=6098 I don't know too much about welders (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) : 1) What is difference between MIG/TIG/ARC? 2) What's better/easier to use, GAS or Electric or it possible to use a conbo of both? Any feedback appreciated. |

The problem with the HF welder is this (I looked at this welder last time I was there):
No heat control. There is a switch with 2 or 3 positions, the wire speed is more adjustable than the heat. I went with the miller 135, total control of heat and speed. Spend the extra money, you'll be happy and you'll do stuff once - well maybe twice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
