I hope you have good luck with it. Now lets see some pics!!!!! :-)

http://weldingweb.com There's a longevity section. I would save my money and get something better. You can read the forums and decide for yourself

Some decent looking welds guys!! I'll play Stainless fillet weld done in my garage real quick with my syncrowave 180sd.

Good think you "think" that you can weld.....I hope you spent more time in the shop then you did in spelling class :roflol:

LOL I hear you.....We had to drive to Othello for rooms one week and the "townfolk" was really bad there!

Thats fine and i understand. Just don't like seeing false information being passed on as facts.

Great idea.....especially if you're wanting to grind the welds down flush beveling is a must. On a side note I see your from Pasco WA. How do you like the area? I worked in moses lake for about 5 months of this year and I thought the locals were rude.

7018 is not "much stronger" then 7014,7013,7024 etc. Do you know what the first 2 numbers in 7018 mean? the same thing they mean in 7014! Also AC is not alternative current it is alternating current. :roflol:

It's up to you. The 10% duty cycle means that you can weld for 1 minute out of every 10. So if you weld for 1 minute straight you have to wait 9 minutes until you can weld again. It only has 2 heat settings so there is no fine tuning. 70 amps max isn't very impressive. Just depends on what...

10% duty cycle! I would pass on that one.

Any of the 3 machines should work fine for you. If you're having trouble with the wire "jamming up" in the drive rollers you need to check the liner,contact tip and insulators for wear and make sure the whip is stretched out on the floor and not kinked. Try to keep it as straight as possible...

Link doesn't work

I didn't compare 7018 because the comment was that a stick weld is stronger then a mig weld period I know there are high tensile strength smaw rods out there such as 10018 that would in fact be stronger then a mig weld done with er70. There are also higher tensile strength mig wires out...

Quote: Mig is the weakest processes of welding out of the whole bunch. Here a quick list of whats the best to the worst: 1) Submerged Arc 2) TIG 3) Stick/Arc 4) Flux cored 5) Mig There isn't alot of strength differance between MIG to Stick(50-70MPa depending what electrodes been used) but TIG...

Now you're talking! That would be the best option.

If you can't find a good used machine on craigslist in your area and with your budget and proposed use in mind, I would say go with the "mig"

Whats your budget for a machine? Do you have 220 power available?

This may be good advice to go with the arc welder but the comment about the welds being stronger is simply not true. For instance a good easy stick rod to run is 6010,6011 and 6013 which are all 60,000 lbs tensile strength. The very common wire that most run in a mig machine is er70S-2 or...

Sorry, Just checked out the HF machine again 10% duty cycle :mad2: If you're not familiar with that term it's rated in 10 min intervals. So in every 10 minutes you can weld for 1 minute and let the machine cool for 9 minutes. I think that rating was at 80 amps and the duty cycle goes up if...
