Greetings TBN welders.
I am thinking about purchasing a new MIG. I want to try to keep it under $1500. Or there about. I usually weld steel 1/4 or less and would specifically want this for doing lighter stuff. I have a Lincoln 175 TIG and other arc welders for heavy steel.
That said, it would sure be nice on my lungs to not have to breath a lot of arc fumes for a change. So if I had a machine capable of doing heavier work, I would probably use it for that too. So given equal performance on light material, it might be worth paying more for a machine capable of doing heavier work. But, like I say, I want to stay under $1500. American made is a definite plus for me. No offense intended to anybody.
What are your opinions on my options available out there?
Thanks.
