Re: Buying a welder, couple quick questions
Lincoln electric makes a damn good flux/gas welder. It is somethign liek 100 amps that me and a couple friends went in on. My first time ever welding and teh welds looks pretty damn good on some of the things I did. I have pics somewhere in the general discussion. I just finished my downpipe the other day tehre are pics of it in forced induction. The really large welds on it look like ***, but those were done by a muffler shop befor eI got the welder. The ones I did are where the flex pipe is wleded to teh downpipe and at teh flange on teh flex.
EDIT: here are some pics of the flanges I did on my exhaust with teh same welder...

3 phase is industrial...there is no such thing as a 2 phase
