Im looking at getting a first welder, mostly for working on my 40-body work, will use it for bumpers etc. also. so, Ive read most of the threads if not all I could find on choosing a welder. most advice is to save and buy big. ive got about 400-450 to spend right now (just bought a house in Dec. so if I dont use it it will be gone soon).
also dont have any 220 in garage, so thinking of going with 115
pretty much narrowed it down to a. wait for a cheap used mig, which I havent seen any for sale in paper recently. b. buy a cheap lesser name brand mig
c. buy a lincoln 135 d. buy a arcone115 v tig welder- can get it for under $300
e. buy a readywelder as stand-alone welder for now and get a arc to run off later.
my experience is limited to mig welding. I want to get the best welder for the money. Im leaning towards the ready welder, but was curious of opinions here between these choices.
thanks, Scott
