I'm looking for a welder to do some fabrication work on the Mustang. What welders do you guys use? I need something decent but inexpensive too.
welders and cheapness are not 2 things to go together... can you get them for 30-100 bucks... sure.. will they work good.. hell no... (believe me ive had 2 cheapos that aint worth shit).. stay away from campbell hausfeld and Chicago electric welders...
one 3 brands id look at to get... Hobart, Lincoln, and Miller.. Sears has a 220v 50amp Ac/Dc stick welder by lincoln that works great... ive used it to weld on my stang many times... my only downside to it is atm im limited on distance to weld.. things frelling heavy to move around so i dont move it often.. so it limits me to about 3-4 ft length.. and i had to wire the garage for a 50 amp circuit.. (wasnt hard really).. you could easily add some wheels to move the welder around easily though if you wanted... i just didnt have a need to do it yet... plus its tucked in the corner of my garage...
the stick welder would work.. but migs and tigs would be better for fab work.. both of those though i wouldnt get anything thats gasless.. less you want some piss poor weak welds...
but heres my current welder that i use... yet to have any problems with it so far..
and where it sits in my garage now
granted now its turned sideways and the shelfs pushed closer to the door... but thats where it sits now...
