So, I need to buy a welder. I have not welded, though I have been wanting to learn for some time. At most I want to spend $500 - I'd rather pay as little as possible for a tool to get the job done. I'll be welding sheet metal - the usual 914 stuff. Bits of the front and rear trunk need to be replaced, and once I have the thing, I am sure Iwill find other things that need it too.
Problem is, I don't know a whole lot about welders. I have read a lot on how to weld. I know that MIG welding is probably the way for me to go. But I don't know what to look for in a welder. Sales folk are going to try and sell me more welder then I need - its thier job. So, I'm asking the folks that know. I probably won't buy one till after the holidays. maybe find sales somewhere... But let me know what to look for. Thanks Zach |
