I would just hold your nose and buy a MIG with gas now. You'll only need to do it once (well, except get more gas, later). A wire-feed welder w/o gas is hard to get tidy welds out of, whereas with gas, it's easy. If you're really tight on cash, buy one of the gasless MIGs that can be upgraded to gas later. Something like the Lincoln WeldPak 100 that's also in Eastwood's catalog can be had for about US$350 (v. Eastwood's US$550 price) from several places including Sears. It can be upgraded to gas for about US$100-US$150.
I only bought the spot-welder for one job that required spot welds from one side of a panel. I wouldn't have it except for that one job, and I wouldn't recommend buying one unless you have a similar (very specialized) need. |
