thinking of getting a welder...
 

i want to get a welder so i can do little things like weld up some charge pipes, exhaust, or maybe even a manifold. but i wont be welding up exhausts for the whole town or anything. so i wont be using it very often. how about something like this? what do you think? thanks...

here is another one

get the wire feed not the arc welders. those arc welders u posted are absolute garbage u will get pissed off at it and throw it out.

even with the electric wire feeds, welds look like ----.

Yeah, those welders are crap. At least get a cheap MIG welder, you'll be MUCH happier!

Re:thinking of getting a welder...
 

isnt that last one (from harbor freight) a MIG? anyway so how much am i lookin at spending on one of those??

Re:thinking of getting a welder...
 

if you really can afford it, go with a TIG welder. ARC welding is hard (on small parts) and messy. Plus the flux smells nasty.

im cheap...even worse im poor. well not really but i dont make too much money so i dont have 1500+ to blow on something like this. like i said this is just for intermidite usage. cough-like my exhaust hangers-cough

Re:thinking of getting a welder...
 

eh, if you are really cheap, use JB weld :D

I agree I need a cheap welder also. I was thinking about that one from walmart. I want to do an exhaust system for my car.
