I am trying to decide what I should buy in the way of a mig welder. What I need to use it for is a fair bit of piping such as intercooler piping and some custom work with intake. I may use it in the future for other things such as exhaust work.
For now I am thinking of going with a gasless system although I am not incredibly picky. The problem is that a lot of the welders give you confusing numbers on the thickness you can weld. If possible I would like to stay with the standard 120 volt input just because I do not have my garage wired for higher... but if a 120 volt will not be enough for this application I am willing to rewire.
The real question is... will a 120 amp wire flux welder be good enough to run a bead around exhaust or basic piping. Some avertise that they can do a 1/4 inch thick but I am not sure if that will just do a spot weld or run a complete bead.
I am just looking for your input into what welder to look at.. I do not need a incredibly expensive one 1000 + is just too much.
What do you guys think?
