What type of welder?

[ironman]

Chicago electric, or the hobart? I haven't heard anything good about the Chicago, but, tell me otherwise if you have better experience!

The Chicago. I haven't had any problems with it other than ones I've caused myself by being careless. I've welded my whole kart with it. I was using the flux core wire for a while until I got that tank of CO2, then I started using the solid wire. It's been working just fine.

hey did you ever get your welder any luck finding one?

 

[oscaryu1]

Not yet. I'm making a trip with dad tomorrow to Home Depot. I'll look there. Hopefully they'll stock something like that...

How are eBay welders? I found some good deals (kits) too... Lemme find them again.

Home depot DOES sell welders of all types.

 

[oscaryu1]

Including the one like on eBay?

 

[ironman]

60.00 total that was a pretty good deal did you win that auction.

 

[jr dragster T]

Im pretty sure they have those hausfield ones ( cant spell it) At least at my local home depot they do.

 

[oscaryu1]

No, unfortunately I missed it I got called away (parents)...

I'll keep a eye out there! No doubt my dad won't be very happy (This will be the third time in three weeks )
