Just as the topic states, does anyone know of a dependable, inexpensive welder in the Everett/Lynwood?Seattle area?
Pro or Backyard mechanic doesnt matter, as long as I can count on the welds not breaking!

Thanks Guys!!

What are you looking to weld?

Well, this originally was for a cast manifold having a wastegate flange welded on, but now it looks like ill be using a internal wastegate'd turbo. So, for the moment, Im not needing a welder.

Thanks though!

Look back about a page or so in general discussion and I will give out many details on buying a budget welder. The thread goes something like "help buying a welder yo" started by Agent Murdoc.

Look around in the forced induction section as well, I have given tons of advice on the "right" welder setup.

Just forget about welding cast iron, it takes an experienced hand to do such work, yes I've done it before, but I haven't done heat intensive items like heads or turbos.

Look for a MIG, 110v is fine, something in the 130 amp range being able to handle 1/4" in a single pass, lincoln makes a popular choice. This all has to do with work & budget. If you want to go out, get a Millermatic 175 220v like Rafi just bought - lucky bastard.
