just use stainless feed wire...annnd done

 

ehh...I wouldn't buy a Mig from Home Depot to save my life.

Go to a welding shop and check their used section...Miller 135 is about as small as I would go if you are doing any decent amount of welding and even then I would look at their 220 (I think it is)...stay completely away from any 110V based MIG unless you are only doing 1/16" sheet metal or aluminum welding in short bursts.

 

So around 200? I've always wanted to weld...

 

even that miller 135 is kinda small. I will agree though to stay away from 110 unless you are just using it for very very small jobs.

 

for anything worth a shit...at least double that..

 

$200 gets you a nice booger welder (ARC) but expect to pay a bit more for a decent MIG that will stay with you as you grow. I am looking at the Miller 175 which used is going to run me close to $400 or so if I can find one, new they are in the $800 range and are decent enough to be with me a few years. Millers also hold a good resale value.

 

yeah I meant the 251...my bad h:

I really want the 251 with plasma cutter

 

I'd just want one for small welds, like holes or fixing body panels.

 

You want to get a TIG then...TIG is the shit for body panel work but it's gonna cost ya and you are definitley going to want to take some classes.

 

How much? I'd probobly just rent when I needed it. I'll buy one when I make a roll cage



Joking, I'm not stupid, I'll leave the safty shit up to the pros.
