Im looking into getting into welding. I would like to learn how to do it, for projects and some things. I dont know anything about it. I would like to know what would be a good welder to get and what price range. I was looking at some at sears for around $250-$350.. Any sugestions or tips?
Thanks Doug |

yeah. i'm a welder by trade, and i started off with a 2 week course on the do's and dont's, it was really helpful...
if you're going to buy a welder, you're going to have to get an argon gas bottle(that's the gas i use at work) for it, and then you'll have to refill it every now and then and that can get pricey. unless you're going to do it for work, buying one isn't really worthwhile, you should go down to a mechanic/fabricator who you know and get them to show you the basics etc and practice there for a while.... and then see if you still enjoy it. welding is awesome to get into, but it's not for everyone.....but definately give it a go This post has been edited by MaX: May 3, 2006 - 5:13 PM |
