Thinking about buying a welder this week

[skrause]

No doubt....i was actually looking into that aswell. Knowing how often the current place I live loses power it probably wouldn't be such a bad investment.

Exactly.

Ah, I was talking quality while you were talking kwality. :haha:

Yes but I think they would work better then a 110 welder running on a 35amp breaker with 18 gauge wire :;

That depends, are they made in China or Taiwan? :flipoff:

that guy is only 140A AC stick welder. Safer??? Probably, better, not much.

Ok I am working on some projects and need the ability to do some welding. Just need some feedback on options that I have. I am currently renting and don't have a whole lot of storage space so i need something relatively small. I will only have 110VAC available.

I was thinking about getting a cheap stick welder from Sears or someplace similar, thinking that it is low cost and will work for what I need. Or do i put more money down and get some sort of wire feed welder, probably flux core for now. I just don't know if I can afford a decent wire feed welder right now. What is your guys thoughts?

THANKS A LOT BOBBY! You're "thinking of buying a welder" rubbed off onto Glen and NOW has spent over $2K on a new one! :haha:
