I'm decent You should convert that flux core unit to DC. Google it up and get it done. It will weld 100x better if you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever used Miller welders at work. I guess I'm probably spoiled and would hate trying to use a cheapo unit. That one you got looks good. Get a nice cart and set up with shielding gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! I've had a stick welder for years along with a small mig but I've never learned how to properly use them. I can bubble gum something together with the stick but nothing I'd trust. I have a buddy who's good with them and he comes and does what I need. I have a friend who took a college course in welding a couple years ago then bought himself a good welding set up. I should do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
