I've read some of the past threads about welders, but I didn't see anything about Clarke welders.
I'm three weeks into welding lessons and starting to think about buying a mig to do some rust repair on my 914. Eastwood sells a Clarke 130 package with cart, helmet, regulator and gas conversion kit for $450.00. Anyone out there have any experience/advice about this welder? Would it be worth it to spring for the additional $200 and get a Millermatic 135? Cyberweld.com has a Millermatic 135 package, similar to Eastwood's Clarke package, for $633. I'm not going to be using this thing everyday and don't have a lot of $$$. I just want something that works well and will hold up. Just want to make some sparks on the weekend! Thanks, Dave Attached image(s)

I got that exact welder for X mas, but I can't tell you how good it is, because it still in the box. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) I liked the gas/nogas set up, and it seemed like a very good unit for the price to me. But then again, you have taken a welding class, which makes you a MUCH better welder than me already.
Seriously, my step dad is a retired pipe fitter who teaches the union class around here now. I swear the guy could weld 2x4s to a rock, and he liked it for the price, so that was good enough for me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) |
