Do I need a MIG Welder?

You are only bragging when you can weld tin foil.LOL

Hey, I welded tinfoil together once, but the roast that was wrapped up in it looked kinda burnt.

Oven temp settings and pics please. As they say 'if there are no pics, it didn't happen'.

Well I pulled the trigger on an Everlast I 200 MIG from Mark. He said it should ship tomorrow.

Get a 220 volt gas machine. I find .35 wire makes a good all around wire size. But I don't make a lot of HD 3/8 or 1/2 inch stuff. I bought a 120 volt harbor freight mig non gas wire welder for one job where I needed portability. It was ok but welds were nothing like my millermattic . A good welding machine will help your project come out like you want it to be. Listen to some of the professional welders who have posted above.

Look forward to reading your review of the new welder.
I really like Lincoln's L-56 Mig wire.:thumbsup:

Do I need a mig welder? Do I need a 60 horse tractor? Do I need a Porsche? Well you can probably do it another way but the mig will make it easier.

I actually do need a Porsche. I'm going to hook my snowblower up to it. Then I won't need no stinking cab.

Back to reality. The I 200 is on its way. Due here in frozen Michigan on the 10th. I'm going to rent a cylinder of C25 and pick up a roll of .030 to get started with.

I'll probably have my cab ready by Easter.
