This guy is a lot of welder for the money.
It's better than the Harbor Freight models, and not much more money. However, for light-duty work, the Harbor Freight stuff works just fine.
I would either buy a cheaper welder off Craigslist or a pawn shop or an [Everlast.] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KTNKKPI/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_40kFAb2PQ2V8W) This is a dual voltage unit and handles heavier material using 110v much better than any brand name 110v only machine I have used. If you do go with a strictly 110 machine, you can preheat with a propane torch to help on thicker material. Once you get started, the heat travels ahead of the weld and you can weld 1/4" material. I wouldn't weld a pressure vessel this way but good enough for bumpers, fences, gates, etc.
Thanks!
Yeah -- my expectations for TIG is low. I'm excited to take the free class -- even though I believe it's meant to get people introduced and excited about continuing on welding -- but I'm definitely not expecting to come out of it comfortable with TIG.
Stick is the only type of welding that I've done. I'm placing a pretty high value on whatever machine I'm getting having MIG & Stick capabilities. I'm glad you re-iterated the value for a newbie. I'm the paralysis by analysis type, so I need to harden on my requirements here :)
I could always get a cheaper MIG and pick up a used tombstone, but frankly, my area is horrible for secondary tools. I've never perused pawn shops for tools, but maybe that's a direction I need to go.
I don't see a ton of application for 1/16 for what I'm aiming for. But again, I'm ignorant in this world.
I think the one application/idea that I want to incorporate that's maybe a bit different than your average table legs is that I want to incorporate some decorative, mid-century (geometrical) patterning inside of my rectangular table legs. MIG seems like the way to go for that, correct?
In reading some feedback I'm leaning toward the:
