[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 15842890, member: 132915"] ^this. 110v welders are pretty much only good for sheet metal. You can find them used for cheap--so not a bad idea to learn on. Get yourself a nice, electronic, auto-dimming helmet--it will make you life much easier. Don't use flux-core wire, always use shielding gas. I have a 110V Lincoln welder from Home Depot. It's nothing special, but plenty good for the random tasks I have around the garage and house. It does just fine for exhaust work, but it was seriously lacking when I was making a hitch-mount bike rack. The rack is made from mild-steel that is 1/8" thick (maybe 3/16). [/QUOTE]
