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. |

Get a Miller, Hobart, or Lincoln. Get it with gas, and don't get a model under 100amps. My recommendation would be for a 135amp (or so) model that runs on 110v. This will have plenty of power for autobody work, and is good quality stuff. I would not go with a 90-100amp unit. My welder is a Hobart Handler 135 and I love it. Feed mechanism never slips or jams and overall quality is excellent. I would buy this welder again in a heartbeat.
