My Harbor Freight flyer came in the mail yesterday (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
I seen this welder and it has me thinking (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) I have NEVER welded anything before. I have had a few times in the past few years that I could have really used one or someone that had one. I don't have any real welding that needs to be done on the teener other than replacing the bottom section of the passenger side jack post plate. But I want one so here's the specs: Chicago Eletric Welding System 87 AMP, 115 VOLT FLUX AND MIG WELDER For mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Weld with gas or perform flux cored gasless operations. Welding current range: 25 to 87 amps Input: single phase 115 volts, 60 Hz Open voltage: 19 to 30 Duty cycle: 20% @ 75 amps, 45% @ 50 amps Draws 21 amps @ 120 volts Weldable wires: 0.023'' to 0.035'' steel and stainless steel, 0.030'' to 0.035'' aluminum, 0.030'' flux-cored Includes: 2 lb. spool of flux cored wire, handheld face shield, brush hammer, fuse power line; Weight: 55.8 lbs.

I think it would be ok, but I shopped around and bought a used Lincoln for less than the HF specials... with the regulator, too...
MIG welding is super easy, you can always take a continuing ed. class for practice... just practice is all it takes to learn welding though... |
