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)

Recently I became 1 of 3 national welder educators instructors for NC3certs.com. what we do is teach welding instructors how to teach all across the country including some schools from around the world.. I can tell you for what you are looking to do that will be just fine.. If I were gonna start with a new welder as a novice I would look at the lincoln mp210. Its a great little welder and able to to TIG, Stick, and Mig..
I actually have a nice little Hobart handler that I bought for 15 bucks that I use at home though.. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Nice! You do great work, and more importantly, it's awesome that you are passing the skill along. To many kids being diverted away from the trades which we so desperately need. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

You would be amazed how many struggle with some of the welds. |
