hi guys
im new to the forum but found it on a search for welding.
last time i did any welding was 20 odd years ago using gas.
now i have some 30mm box section around 2mm thick to weld some small steel bushings onto for a 10mm axle to pass thru,its actually for a set of driving pedals for the computer im making..they will probably just end up being tack welded as the bushing is a decent fit,just needs a tack to hold in place.
so..i dont have much money and it needs to work off the household mains.
i have looked at dc arc invertors and mig welders.
the dc invertor ones look like they would do the job with low amps and 2.5mm rods?
i wont use the welder for anything else except welding this box section.
now ive been trawling ebay(i can you see you guys shaking your heads already!) and seen these..any info/advice much appreciated.
