Is the Chicago Electric 110 amp mig welder a good welder? I'm just going to be using it to build little things and do little fix ups.Thanks
Reply:just found out that you have to run that welder off a 220 and i only have a 115 at my house. So i need help finding a mig welder that isnt real expensive and that i can run off a 115 volt outlet.Thanks
Reply:If you have a hot water heaterstove or a dryer,air conditioning you have 220.Also if you have 2 open spaces in your breaker box back to back on the same side, you have room to add another 220 circuit.Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT
Reply:And the 220vlt would be the way to go. If you have room in the main add the breakers and go that route you wont be sorry. And the welder isn't a bad little welder for what you stated. I have the 110vlt one and it's an ok little welder.Miller Thunderbolt 225Millermatic 130 XPLincoln HD 100 Forney C-5bt Arc welderPlasma Cutter Gianteach Cut40ACent Machinery Bandsaw Cent Machinery 16Speed Drill PressChicago Electric 130amp tig/90 ArcHobart 190 Mig spoolgun ready

Reply:i dunno i think it's AC only and you won't like the penetration you get with ac also you'll have to turn your heat way up to run a bead at least my expirience with those cheap *** habor frieght welders buyer beware.the stick welder i bought mine as well throw it in the trash had to turn it up to 110 to run a 3/32 7018 and you have to move fast at that heat hard to control the puddle and bead appearance.save your money.oh and 6010 downhill forget it man it stubs out everytime really got to push that rod into the puddle, 6010 uphill stubs out a little and leaves undercuts suck *** welder.
Reply:Hobart makes a great 110 welder for home and hobby.The 125 ez,and they are 15% off this fri if you have a tractor supply store around you.You could try on-line too.pro-level dumpster diver Hobart 125EZ |
