[QUOTE="Jyuma, post: 49915, member: 4393"] I bought a cheap Lincoln 100 amp 120 volt MIG welder (without the gas) and using cored wire I just started welding with it. I had never before welded anything and from my experience I'd say any rank novice can pickup a MIG welder and be making reasonably strong welds in under an hour. They may not be pretty... but they will hold together. [IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-2.gif[/IMG] Once you get a feel for temp range and wire feed speed (just follow the charts) and develop a good sense of how fast to lay down weld, you'll be amazed how easy it is to weld with an inexpensive MIG welder. For really big jobs or when welding material thicker that 1/4 you'll want to go to a 240 machine but for welding up to 1/4” materials you can't beat the ease of use and portability of one of these little 110v welders. P.S. If your welds will show you should consider getting gas and ditch the cored wire. [/QUOTE]
