I know absolutely nothing about welding. Wish I did.
I understand there are different types of welding (mig, tig, etc. are names that I see). If I want to learn to weld, should I take a class or is it something that you can learn better by practicing a lot by yourself? Been considering a project VW, and hate being totally scared away by rust. Want to learn how to fix it! Zach |

I picked up a welder to practice on. I found a really awesome welder on the pirate 4x4 website,, It can weld Mig/Tig and is a great plasma cutter too! It works on 110 or 220! and it was low priced too!. I am a CSOB like the rest of you. But this welder is just awesome for the $500~$800 depends on options. and pretty good cust service too!
if ya want an intesting read and decide for yourself,, http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=534964 straight to the source,, http://www.parkermetalworking.com/ My buddies here at work have tried my portable unit out and they can't believe how powerful my welder/cutter was. I'm NOT an employee of parker or anything like that but I'm sure my post makes it sound like it. I just want to share an incredible new tool that many of us 914 heads might be able to use. |
