Default Welder

Hi folks! My father have 2 or 3 welders. One is a MIG welder that weld like ---- (dunno why) and the other is a big fatty (like 100lbs, 240V) rod welder.

Can I do some custum stuff with these or I need to buy a tig welder? Is it enough strong to make a manifold? Downpipe? I did some catback pipe welding, but it takes less heat than a mani or downpipe...

TIG welder would be nice, but $$$ I'll check for used on local sell. I go to my parents house this evening will take pics of the welder to figure it out.

Ciao ma gang de vous-autres!

if you have a flux-core welder you need to try to find a wire feeder that has a gas hook up b/c flux-core sucks on exhaust pipe and welding on headers

get a tig torch and reverse the polarity and add some argon, now you got a tig.

Mig is the way to go! A good mig(no fluxcore) can do stainless real nice also.
