I would like to hear some suggestions for a beginner's welder. Preferably one that runs on 110...but if 220 is that much better it's not that big a deal. I am looking for something that is inexpensive and easy to learn with. Any help would be great, thanks!

QUOTE(Racer Chris @ Apr 6 2004, 04:17 AM) QUOTE(sj914 @ Apr 6 2004, 08:02 AM) Since we are on the subject of welders. Has anyone heard or used a Henrob 2000. It's an oxy/actyl welder, but easier to learn. I'm going to a Henrob demo today. Their new torch looks very cool. Saw some video clips at one of their distributors sites, looks cool. The guy makes it look so easy. |
