Sorry if its been asked before, 'What Welder do you Use'

[iven]

What Rig do you use, what type Tig/Mig
do you Braze frames together?

'i heard Miller are some of the best, my father used to build radio towers years back on a miller'
whats the best rig to start off on that will give me quality welds 'when i beceome more skilled'
or for a decent price.

cause i cant do much modification without a welder <-__->
some of you may have noticed im trying to build a Srpinger currently 'bolt together only' while i have made some progress in the design it still seems far fetched..
with that noted, id also like to build a custom frame later on aswell as some old school chopper bars :roll: a

anyway... post pics of your Rig, Brand, and Show off your Bead skill

Harbor Freight 80 amp stick welder. Yeeaaaah buddy! http://www.harborfreight.com/welding/ar ... 91110.html
How's it work? you ask, better than me!! :lol: :lol:
So far I've done this with it viewtopic.php?f=21&t=60178#p580939 Har Har Har!! That's OK, I'll get better.
Stick welders are poo-pooed a lot but whatever, a lot of bikes are welded with stick welders, just not fancy ones. :lol:

I use a harbor freight flux mig welder and it sucks! The liners wear out to fast and the spool is always unwinding I guess thats what I get for 40 dollars! The best I say is gas; oxy/ace, I have a tank and all and I loved welding with it before someone swiped alot of my tips and tools :x :x

I have a Lincoln pro MIG 40 and it works pretty well, for the little bit I've used it.

wouldn't need one of too high Amperage? cause the thickest metal i think i would weld would probably be 1/4in..
cause ya know bikes aint made of soild metal
