about to fix the rust on my crx. are the cambell hausfeld mig welders any good? it will onle be used occasionally.

 

no if its flux core, if it has gas it will still suck. i know from personal experience about 8 years ago. I bought real welders and will never go back

 

its a mig welder. i would never use a flux core, i just need an inexpensive welder to do some body work with.

id buy it thats super cheap and im sure it will do the job

 

Can you get the gas kit for that easy ? How much does it cost ? That is a flux core straight out of the box. I would save and buy a lincoln.

 

isent it both ,gas and fluxcored ? and comes with the hose and regulator ,wouldent all he need is a tank of gas and some wire ??

maybe i read it wrong

You're right, but if your going to pay that much for a welder, just get a decent lincoln.

 

how much is a "decent" lincoln

 

home depot has small lincoln mig that will probably work better for you

I have that one and it still kind of sucks a little bit. Not having infinite wfs and volt control sucks a nut on anything thinner than 16g.

 

Go to your local Lowes, Home Depot, etc. They should carry a few mig welders. You are probably looking at around 450 for the cheapest one. Then figure in gas, mask, and a few other odds.

Manbearpig: I want to do mainly, exhaust and intercooler piping. Maybe some sheet metal work. Mostly steel and ss, being open for aluminum. My budget is around 1k. What do you reccomend?

 

so u think this is a bad idea for 20g? i cant spoend more than 300 on a welder, this is a one time job and some turbo **** in the future

 

if its only a one time job either rent a welder or send it out and have it welded

 

yea i guess ur right, i'll just spend the money on a shop to do the welding. damn it, no one rents welders around here

Although I cant answer on the cambell hausfield (sp?)that you are asking about, I recently bought a clarke mig 130en to replace my crappy hf flux core and for roughly your price range it works great and comes with the gas kit... of course then you want a cart and a gas cylinder and gas

 

go rent one

 

are there any large chains that rent welders? ive been looking in my area and havent found anywhere that rents anything but arc welders
