Over the years, I've gotten tons of email on Welders....

Here's some notes (would appreciate smart people adding on)....

Welders
--Only get the version with the gas option
--check how much power supply you have (if you're thinking of 220)
--buy a model that has replaceable parts -- built on standard guns, feeders etc
--check into used welders -- they're repairable.

Don't Forget
--Grinders (Angle, die & wire brushes)
--Safety Equipment
--Gas Tank Budget.

Hopefully we can link people to this thread when it pops up again in 2 days.

... and here's a handy cart for that welder. I got this years ago at Home Depot (I think). There's room for the tank (not shown in this picture) down below.
