hmm..does look that way. And not bad but what do i know about welders

Is yours a 90 amp? I basically looking for something i can do my exhaust with and possibly some new charge pipes.
Will this get it done?

Is this the cheapest of the cheapest like OBX?
or somewhere in the middle

thanx for the link thou...much better pricing for a low budget beginner welder like moi

I have a couple of welders - a 220V arc ("stick") welder and a 110V Lincoln MIG - the MIG was $600, plus $220 for a 140 cf. ft. Argon tank. When I get the dough, I'm going to put a high frequency box and a TIG torch to the arc welder to make a TIG setup to do aluminum.

That's overkill for what you need - yes, the welder you are looking at would be good for basic, thinwalled steel projects like exhaust pipe and charge pipe.

If you really want to look into welding, do what I did and take a class at your local community college - your welding will kick *** at the end of it, and you get to try out every cool machine known to man.

SO the original one I posted would be good?
I read in another post that for doing an exhaust I would need a low setting around 40 so i wouldn't burn through the pipes
i'm looking at this one now cause the auction ended on the other one...
