I am considering getting a used 120V spot welder. My thinking is the older rugged style the better vs. new cheapy stuff?
Anyone successfully using 120V system on their restoration work? This type (not necessarily this one) of system? Any model/brand I should look for on offerup/craigslist? Thank you for sharing experience/comment! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  |

If you're spot welding two pieces of 30 gauge tin, the 120 volt unit might work.
I have the 240 volt Horrible Freight spot welder which has worked fairly well up to two pieces of 20 gauge. |
