holy ----, i have looked at a few at home depot, the lincon one thats just like this one, but hey, i think i might start with this.

would it be good for exhaust, charge pipes, small ----?

Re:anybody use a gasless welder? check this one out it's a MIG..
 

yeah, that's what it can be used for:manifolds, exhaust, i just don't know about the gassless part. it says it doesn't require gas. i wanna know if it's worth it and being that it doesn't require will it be harder to weld with?

I have that same exact welder. I suck at welding, but here is what it can do:

It gets messy with the flux core, but it gets the job done. :-\

I tried to copy your HMT pipe doc...but i got tired and intimidated on the m and gave up. ::)i know i know i suck

Re:anybody use a gasless welder? check this one out it's a MIG..
 

wow doc that doesn't look too bad. did you do that without gas? do you think it'll warp 3/8" thick mild steel? ok..do you have to clean the welding tip every other spot weld or so? :-*

Re:anybody use a gasless welder? check this one out it's a MIG..
 

bwahahahahahahahahahaha :-*

if you dont use gas its not a mig, its just a wire feed. mig stands for Metal Inert Gas or something like that.

Re:anybody use a gasless welder? check this one out it's a MIG..
 

i had that same welder too, but the feed motor burnt out on it, now it's worthless, so i got a lincon electric 135, that easy mig thing is good to learn on and it's really only good for exhaust, chare pipes, etc. definitely nice to have and better than nothing. i welded up all my charge pipes with mine, it was the first time i welded, they look like ass on the welds but hold up fine, i'll redo them one day. get it and learn with it, a good welder is gonna cost some loot, i paid 450 for mine and even that's fairly cheap.

Re:anybody use a gasless welder? check this one out it's a MIG..
 

that blu welder sucks, it starts welding before u even pull the trigger... the trigger jus causes it to feed more. get one where it starts the circuit when u pull the trigger so u can get better welds... and welding without gas = cracking welds over time and boost... i think it sucks for manifolds but down pipes and charge pips it does wonders.

Spend the extra and get gas you'll thank me for it. ---- I bought mine for $300 brand new (but I got the hookup) ;)

Re:anybody use a gasless welder? check this one out it's a MIG..
 

like whitey said, just get the gas one because gas welds are much better, and prettier. if you get a gas wire feed you can use flux cored and not have to buy the gas, and then when you want to buy the gas you just switch out your wire. in the long run getting the gas one is worth it since the gas wire is cheaper than flux cored and it makes better welds that are more prettier to look at and being beautifuller is what it's all about.

if you want pretty wleds just hit it with the grinder afterwards

Re:anybody use a gasless welder? check this one out it's a MIG..
 

I like my welds to be naturally pretty.

Re:anybody use a gasless welder? check this one out it's a MIG..
 

i'd go with gas anyday. The flux core ---- makes it look like you sneezed metal onto whatever you welded, and for some reason the pices i do with gas are stronger welds than the ones i did with flux.

where's the best place to buy the gas tanks and accesories?
