Welcome to the community! Tell us about yourself, your welding interests, skills, specialties, equipment, etc.
I am New to welding and metal working. I've been a long time woodworker and want to add some metal to my projects. I've done one mig project in a one day class at a local metal artist shop. I am going to start with Mig (gas) but could see doing tig in the future. My shop already has 220, though on the wrong side of the shop. Looking to purchase first welder, my budget is 500 to 1000. I want to sell some of the pieces I make so the welds have to look good. Open to your suggestions.

Hi popswerks, welcome to the forums.
There are some MIG units that fit into your budget, although I'd guess it's going to be at the high end. If you post your question in the MIG and Fluxcore forum it should get a better response.

Even so working within the limits of any welding machine the ultimate outcome will depend on the operatorpopswerks wrote: I want to sell some of the pieces I make so the welds have to look good. Open to your suggestions.
