Quite right Joe!Uncle Joe said:I suspect that the reason the site is so popular is the fact that MIG welders are easily available. Operator skill isn´t, and therefore there are a lot of novices out there that need advice!
The biggest requirements that I have for a welder is that it is reliable for years to come, and can weld everything that I want to weld, at the rate that I want to weld. I do not want to be hindered by Duty Cycles! Generally for me, that means a 180A+ unit. Which really means 3 phase.
I saw Weldequips post. I´m a little like him, in that I tend to be old fashioned regarding Welders. If its your money, you dont need Bells and Whistles! But, I am going to put one thing that he cant say, but I can. Dont go to the big stores, go to the small supplier. You will normally get better advice from them, because their reputation depends on it, and therefore end up with a more suitable machine for your uses.
