90 amp mig welder
paid 100 bucks its running on fluxcore **** wich sucks. but im getting a bottle of argon soon. was it a good deal?

 

If it helps you save money and time and you learn how to do stuff yourself..it's a good deal

 

i all ready made a compter chair out of a old one and a car seat

 

thats pretty neat ive wanted to do the same with a crx seat or racing seat ,but dont have either at the moment lol

owning a welder even if it cost you a grand for one is worth it. i think anyways ,you'll notice alot of people wanting you to weld up some stuff for them and things that can break around the house and what not ,it just pays for it self in no time doing it your self

when you buy the soild wire and argon ,get the 10lb roll ,its cheaper and get the biggest tank of argon ,last way longer and shouldent have to worry about running out

 

after some practice i want to try and make a turbo manifold

 

Keep it simple, and it should go great. THe problem with manifolds is that when you tack it up, then add too much heat in certain spots, it warps, stresses all the welds, then the welds crack at the greatest stress points. Use a THICK flange if possible, don't focus on one spot for too long, and it should go fine.

And $100 for a good working 90amp MIG is a good deal in my book

 

just got gas and damn it welds so much better

 

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've always heard you cant weld ss manifolds with a mig....again I have no idea thats why I'm asking

 

yes you can weld manifolds with a wire welder, but I wouldnt really recommend it. If you chose to do so, use .023" wire. It well give you very nice controllable welds.

 

ive done lots of mild steel ones with .025" wire. Id make sure you use a helium blend for stainless so you can get good penetration if you have a small welder.

 

i wish i came up on good deals like that. haha

 

some one just stole it out of my garage im pissed

 

Damn that sucks, bro. Theives need to die. At least your only out 100 bucks. Now its an excuse for a better welder.

 

lol true but not right now
