I don't know what everyones' needs are, but Harbor Freight has an Arc welder for $99 right now. (Item #40388-ORUA) I also don't know a lot about welders either...so if this won't suit the needs, then disregard.
Here is it's specs: upt to 1/4" plate steel. Top mount handle, stepless current regulator, thermal protection, high temp warning liht, and powder coated. input 115/230 volts AC: Single phase: Welding Current: 30-140 amps: Duty cycle at115V: 15% @65 amps: at 230V:8% @95 amps: amp draw: 15 amps @ 115V: Cables 6 gauge: Weldable electrodes: 1/16" to 3/32": Dimensions: 14-9/16 x 10-1/4 x 13-1/2" It's by Chicago Electric. I have had my C.E. sander, buffer, and sawzall, for as long as we've owned our house, and have had absolutely no problems with them. So unless you are hell bent on having one of the top name brands, this is a good product for a good price. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
