[TheForge] Welders

[Mark]

   Am I still looking at the Lincoln/Hobart/Miller/"homeprofessional",
kind of  lines?... a friend once had one named "solar", anyone heard
of that?  I think it was a "body shop circuit" welder salesman
purchase originally.  What would be the obvious things to look for in
a used welder as far as problems or potential problems.

   Thanks for all of your help, as I said, I've done enough
fabrication to know how to do this, but it was a "he set the torch, I
used it" deal ... I never had to identify metals and set the welder...
Yeah..made me lazy, wish I'd paid more attention...

I am saving for the LINCOLN Weldpak 155. It is 220VAC w/gas capability. I
was with a friend the other day that has one, and I was watching him use it
and it is quite the machine. You can buy the optional stand on wheels for an
extra $100 I think. He got his machine from HOME DEPOT I think...Somewhere
in the $350-$400 range.
