hello everyone.

i live in israel and my uncle is coming for a visit me on the 28th, so...i need to buy a welder by the 26-27th.

my budget is around $600-700

i dont mind which welder it would be mig or a dc tig (sure ill prepher a tig but i dont know if its possible to find a brand name one to fit my budget) its have to be one phase and 220v.

do you guys know a tig in that price range?
or a GOOD mig for that range?

thanks

 

Very good deals pop up on craigslist.org. Keep an eye out.

 

The Millermatic 180 (GMAW) lists for $900 but you can usually find them for ~700

 

+1
I think I payed somthing like 850 for my millermatic 180 with a bottle, extra tips, and a nother spool of wire.

 

I got my Syncrowave 500 for $600, found it on Craigslist.

 

Nice!!! yeah I tryed to buy a welder off craigslist. It seems sometimes people don't want to take your money. I needed the welder right away so I had to pay for a new one. But yeah if you have a few weeks local classifieds are the way to go.

 

i'm actualy looking for somthing small.
i think ill try to find a miller maxstar 150 sth... but if i wont find any by the deadline what do you guys think about the THERMAL ARC 95S ???

most of the issue here is that most welders are 110v and i need a 220v, also i dont really know where to look (as i said im not in the USA)

can anyone hook me up with some links to some shops in Los angles 818 AREA?

thanks again
