Took roughly 20 hours to weld whole thing too

 

That's not bad for a couple days worth of work. What machine do u use at work?

 

Miller Sycrowave 300

I think I posted a picture here a couple of pages back

 

Anyone use this or have it?

Looking to buy a welder thats 110 to do mainly exhaust and repairs for right now. Opened a repair garage business and need something there. On a tight budget with just starting up.

And I'm a average level welder used to using a 220 Lincoln SP175.

 

Not a bad welder. The wire guide rollers are cheap. From what I've read and talked to others these welders can handle 3/16 plate fine.

 

Made an ashtray out of my old dana 30 ring gear

 

That's my welder. I love it! It's fantastic for exhaust. It would be even better for it if it had a flexy nozzle.


That is awesome.

 

Very good. Would definitely not be doing anything thicker then 3/16 with it. Have a stick for that.

And pockets

For $200 I'd say it's a great deal! Hobart welders are pretty decent quality.

 

if he still has it tomorrow when i get off work and it works well im going to pick it up. i want a 220, but most of what i weld is in the 110 range or possible to weld dual pass. plus my boss has a 220 i can use anytime. with a tank, helmet, cart and an extra roll of wire i kinda think that would be stupid to not buy that lol. plus i stopped halfway through welding my xj wheel wells the po cut to far because i was using flux core and it wasn't quite doing as nice of a job as i would like. so it would be nice to add a little argon to the equation.

 

Yeah individually that set up would be worth a lot more for sure. It's a good deal. Yeah fluxcore works but it's crappy to have to clean it up so much after. I have a lincoln 180. I run gas with mine and couldn't be happier with it. I've done both bumpers and two tire carries for my jeep so far. Plus all the other random little things I've made. Works great!

 

I have a Hobart 140.I love it but don't have a lot of time on any machine. Ive used a Lincoln and harbor freight before. For 200 with tank and helmet cant go wrong.

 

Welded bunch of aluminum today at work.

 

I'm getting there
