What do you think of the Lincoln Electric 145amp mig welder sold by Home Depot? Received gift cards as gifts and this one looks like a good option in my budget (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

110 volt MIG, with solid .023 wire and gas, is the easiest and best for sheet metal.
But even with .030 wire it will struggle to get good penetration on anything much thick than 1/8 inch steel. The answer for that is a TIG machine (just got one to supplement my Hobart MIG, and am very satisfied). |
