I want to start weld, for personal use. I'm tired of having to pay people to weld stuff for me. I'm looking for a welder to tig so I can build manifold and downpipes and charge pipes. I'm looking at http://store.cyberweld.com/milec230vol.html that weld to begin with. The later down the road I'll buy a better one if I need one. Also if anyone know any places on the weld me to to read up on and try to learn so stuff b4 I get my welder.

did you read the weld info sticky at top of the welding/ fabrication section? I would look into taking a class at a local tech. college too, they really do help a lot.

why not just find a nice condition used unit if you know you're going to upgrade in the future.
Or just save up a little more and get a synocrowave 200

I'm looking for an ac/dc welder

as a student in a 2 year welding school, let me tell you that the stickied welding information at the top of the forum is actually very informative, and would be how i would explain welding to someone that wasn't in welding school.

So yall think that will be a better welder for what I want to do with it.

I just got my Syncrowave 200 from cyberweld on 1/23/08. I ordered it on 1/21/08 at 4:00pm. I'm planning on doing general fabrication, nothing too crazy, and this seemed like the best priced/optioned welder out there. I just started using it tonight, and I love it already.

Most of my local dealers were wanting $2,100 for the same welder. Good luck.

Thanks alot man. I'm not really wanting to buy a welder to mak emoney off it. Maybe one day down the road. Mostly for my personal use and to build turbo cars and **** for all my friends. I'm tried of paying 700+ for a good manifold when I could build it for like 300

ask you friends dad. He might be able to hook you up with something used. You can get a simple miller 180 thats a couple years old for like 1000.

look into hobart, they are cheaper than miller, but are the same exact rebadged welder

the only tig welder hobart makes is the tigmate which is only the equivalent of a miller econotig. Might as well get a used 180sd or sync200
