I got rid of my trusty 250A buzz box ("stick") long ago, thinking on a acquiring a fancier machine shortly but that hasn't yet happened. But what is a man without a welder?? I was wondering if you guys have opinions about the best welder machine for an advanced hobbyist, opinions on things like TIG vs, MIG processes, brands (Lincoln Electric, Miller, Esab, Hobart, "Harbor Freight", etc...), etc...
My current and future projects include:
- Making exhaust headers (mild steel), possibly zoomies
- Some tube chassis re-work (mild steel)
- Fabricating aluminum intake manifold
- Possibly building a kind of light-duty flat-bed trailer for the dragster
- Fixing and fabricating things around the garage
PS.: I have 120 and 220 V in the garage.
Any input is very appreciated, thanks in advance!
