[TheForge] Engine Driven Welders

[Larry Brown]

I would stick with Lincoln or Miller. Get their catalogs or go through 
their web sites and print off the machines that would do what you want. You 
probably should go for a decent amount of machine as they will come with 
hook ups for mig and tig options and have the power to run them. It stinks 
to spend $ and then not have it do what you want so don't be afraid that 
the power unit will be too big. Then Price your final selections with 
options and all required cables and adapters to run them. Compare. Then try 
to make a decision with out flipping a coin (being sure of what you want is 
more comforting on large purchases)
