There are now 3,105 posts in this amazing thread, and pardon me if I ask a question that may have been previously answered.
I'm about to learn/start welding. I will buy a decent quality welder, but not from HF.
I will need to buy a lot of stuff, helmet, gloves, work table, clamps, rods and supplies and a metal bandsaw.
From what I did read, it seems the satisfaction level is acceptably high. Not high.... but good value nonetheless.
If one truly gets what one pays for, and maybe even a little more, no place to complain there.
Overall it seems HF has a lot of useful welding tools.
I'd like feedback on two:
the metal bandsaw, their largest one, is the collective opinion that other than the cheesy supplied sawblade, it meets all the important
needs of a hobby user? Interested in cutting mostly flat stock for machinery repairs and light fab.
Stick welder supplies, like rods. Does HF stock quality products?
thanks

btw, their little shop crane is a bargain and super useful.
