Would it be easier to weld rusty exhaust pipes with MIG than with an
Oxy/acet. torch ?? Seems like it wouldn't burn as much.
Not really, it just spatters and doesn't weld until you do burn through
all the rust. I've watched near-artists with the oxy torch do exhaust
work, they make it look
I used to be pretty good with rusty exhaust systems - I got all the
jobs in the shop for the cheap customers who wouldn't replace the old

I've never had any sorta luck with HF stuff that had more than three
moving parts AND electrical current running through it. I recently
bought a similarly sized Lincoln welder that I absolutely love
(~$375). I can find replacement parts relatively easy and best of
all, it's made right here in

Is it something you can learn by doing, or should one take a class?
I was in much the same place a while ago. I just dove in on my
first project, recognizing that it might take awhile to learn it.
So far, so
Both those units claim to be able to use flux core wire. Are the
