What happened to the Hobart welder we discussed in your other thread? That looks to me like something I would jump on. I mean it is shown with a piece missing that you can pick up for $2 and that piece would absolutely cause the problems the seller is complaining about. I am still thinking about th...

I am new to welding, and want to start with home or decorative items while I am learning. Later on I plan on getting and learning with a Lincoln 225 stick welder. For the time being for my first welder, I am going to go with a mig. I have been watching many videos on the different brands. Some of t...

Do you have a ballpark price range that you'd like to stay under? Will you have 230V power available? Those two things are critical to know before anybody can really make any recommendations. On the Lincoln stick welder, the AC/DC models are vastly superior to the AC only 225A versions. There are t...

Good eye.

Most likely they switched from FC to Shielded wire and didn't change the polarity. There's probably nothing wrong with the welder. For that price, I'd probably ask to see it at least power up, maybe see it spit and sputter, (don't tell them how to fix it), then buy it. But make sure it at least put...

Hello everyone. I have a question. I dont know much if anything about the Auto Arc. Are they a respectable machine for home use? I found this one for sale locally, and he says that it has an issue. What do you guys think the issue might be, and would this be worth purchasing? Thank you

Thank you all for your replies. I now have a 240V outlet installed in the shop. I plan on getting a tombstone stick welder. I am also going to get a mig/fluxcore welder. In your opinions, what would be a good one for home. I've been contemplating the HH140, Everlast Power Imig 200, etc. Thanks Well...

Hello everyone. I am pretty new to welding except for the HH140 we have at work that tac with every once in a while. I am looking for a welder for my shop at home. I am looking for advice on a welder that will give me structural strength if I should decide to weld on my utility trailer in the future...

Hello all. I am pretty new to welding. I do dabble in it a little at the shop though. I am looking to purchase either a mig or stick welder for home. I dont plan on welding anything thicker than a 1/4" for a long while. When or if i get to that point I'll upgrade welders. My question is, for st...
