Re:Welder?
 

saw WALLY-WORLD had a 115V arc welder, are they worth anything for welding up manifolds, mounts, chrage pipes, etc.

Re:Welder?
 

nah i bought an arc stick welder at sears and its so hard and ugly looking...i mean with practice maybe, no not even with practice...it sucks . unless you are on a tight budget go for it i had no job back then so only choice plus i wasnt gonna weld any thing major, but the point here i guess is if you dont care about looks then go for it. ill show you my welds for my down pipe and manifold...its embarassing.

For you guys with the 110V gassles welders, dont get rid of them when you get a beter unit.I turned a Lincoln 110 into a aluminum spool gun unit the spool gun and feed kit from Miller. On the lowest setting I can make beautiful beads on 1/8" aluminum tubes for IC piping. On the highest setting it will penetrate 1/2" with no problems.I have had this setup for years so I dont know what it would cost to do this now, but it is way cheaper than a TIG or a Pulsar aluminum only mig from miller. ;D

Re:Welder?
 

so, that's one vote for a "no" on wire feed arc welders, anyone else want to chime in?

Re:Welder?
 

i will be using my gasless mig welder on my manifold and i have no worries or doubts about it....its no perfect but im confident in my welds

Re:Welder?
 

wait so you can get an upgrade type thing for the arc welders to get wire fed? how so? i might try it...how much?

Re:Welder?
 

just wanna see how i post pics http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...0/fca7a522.jpg did it work?

Re:Welder?

Re:Welder?
