I'm a high school kid so money is pretty tight.
I am looking to get a welder for fabbing on my truck and it would be my first welder and I have some people to teach me but I'm still a little scared . What is a good kind of welder for relatively inexpensive. I'm a high school kid so money is pretty tight.
Ive heard good stuff about flux core welders... no need to carry around a bottle and they are a bit cheaper. Thats what im going to get
Best advice is to check out the local community colleges for a welding class. That way you can try the different types out -- oxy/acetylene, arc, MIG, TIG -- and make your own informed decision on what works for you. You also can pick up a lot of skills quickly by watching someone who knows what they are doing.
In that case, borrow when you can.
miller 210 hands down
Either that or have friends that'll teach you on their welder
well a better question is what is a good modern version of that.
I am trying to find the cheapest welder that I can that will work for a while and that I can learn on.
