My Mom and Dad bought me a Lincoln Electric 100Hd For Xmiss, After they talked to me about it we are going to take it back sence its to small for what I need.
Im starting to build a HOTROD TRUCK. The thickest steel I'll weld is 10Ga, I wont do body work with a mig sence the steel is way to thin but floorpans I'll do. I can get a tig from a friend for the body work. I've been looking at the Lincoln 3200 at homedepot, I bet frame work is pushing that welder. I've taken a look at the Pro Mig 180 sence I found it for 300$ new on the net.
We can't spind more then 500$ on this.
I do have a 220 Plug in the shop but my ARC welder is useing that Plug, If I had to I can unplug it wile im not useing it. Im still new at this welding deal.
What woud be the best welder for what I need to do? I can live with out doing the frame with my welder, My ARC might do it. I have 3 good friends that weld on the gas pipe lines stuff like that and they all use LINCOLN Rigs from the late 60's, So if I can I woud like to have a Lincoln sence I've been aroud them for 4 years now lol. My friends are never home to show me how to weld so I have to teach my self. Im all ways cuting my welds apart to see what they look like.
Thanks ever one for the help.
