Don't know a thing about it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/naughty.gif)
I think you would be limited in the areas you could use it. Go MIG. KT |

With the wire feed, you can build all kinds of cool things. Not just car repairs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Get a gas kit. Skip the flux core unit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) KT |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) KT That was kinda the same response as my local welding supply house. They were also kind enough to point out that most suppliers won't fill a tank bought somewhere else. i.e. a competitors tank. They were pretty cool about getting me info on some nice home-shop 220v models that won't break the bank. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

Why not get one that can do both...
For the home hobbist I really think it is unnessesary to go 220V. I have a 110 Lincoln Electric with the gas kit that works super. Whole thing was about $250.00. I like it for the fact that if I am doing finish work I can use the mig and get nice smooth welds. But when I did my floor pans I switched back to the flux core wire. It was alot of welding and mig gas can be pretty spendy, didn't need the nice finshed look as I was just going to cover it with seam sealer so no reason to spend the money. Flexibility... just my .02. |
