Guest Anonymous Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 all the neat things that I can make for your patio... Here is one way to justify one, but you may get more than what you bargain for - this and other welding projects has kept me away from 02's for several weekends!. I change my mind: DO NOT tell your wife the powers of a MIG welder! Michael 72 tii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I bought a Lincoln 170 plus with mig when I was into DIY custom. This summer I am building an iron fence around our property to replace the wooden plank fence that has fallen down. My wife's brother works at a steel mfg plant to boot, between materials and labor ( building a jig to make 8 ft sections at a time ) it won't costs squat. My wife balked at the high cost of the rig 7 years ago, now she is smiling smugly when she realizes that a 5ft iron fence would cost TEN TIMES that.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I am interested in this as I cannot afford the 200 volt service here in Japan. I am coming back to the states and I will probably bring a welder with me to Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 have been quite satisfied with it. Welded some steel "trees" to old cast iron brake rotors (to use as a base) for my wife and it did great--much easier than with a torch. Bought it at Quality Farm & Fleet (now Tractor Supply) for about $400. It's a 95/105 amp unit (depends on whether you're using it on a 15 or 20 amp circuit). For sheet metal you won't be using much amperage. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 although MIG isnt technically correct anymore, just the common name. GMAW now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 ....My Century 110 won't weld anymore and it's just four years old. I have a friend with a Lincoln who loves his. He said he had another friend who had a Century just like mine and it died too. Lincolns are widely available and proven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 ...if you find a good deal on that or lincoln-pick the least expensive. Either way you can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
