Welders
What voltage will you run ....you can get 110V
units that run up to 140 amps or you can go to over 250 amps if you can wire
into 220........Miller makes good home based units ( Hobart is a brand name
made by them as well)......many of these are set up to use shielding gas or
flux core ......although gasless flux core welders are cheaper . Also
while more expensive I am totally sold on the electronic helmut ...the lazy
mans welding helmut :)
These machines come in many set ups for
amperage....the more expensive the more settings you have to weld at , most
will weld 22 gauge sheet metal and the maximum thickness is limited by
the amperage of the unit.
As for prices ....in Canada they sell for about
$500 for a 110V gasless mig.......$750 for a gas/gasless unit
........and the sky is the limit for 220 V systems.
Your looking at about $1000.00 for a
gas/gasless 110V 30-140 amp welder , with a 4 hour argon/co2
bottle , wire coil , Helmut and gloves.
That's here in Canada ......State side I am not
familiar with pricing.
