What welders do you run?

[Snoranger]

Airco pulse arc 400, the best mig welder ever made. I picked up 3 of these at an auction 5 years ago and haven't touched my miller 350p since. I don't mig weld much but when I do this is the beast.

So what you’re really trying to say is “stop by anytime you need something welded”... Thanks that’s really nice of you, I may take you up on that offer one day.

I appreciate the offer, and I may stop by one day... but I’m pretty much set for welders.

Its just not easy to find a place to plug them in...

Wait? You guys don't all have 480 volt 3 phase power in your shed?

Nope. Wish I did. That would open the gates to some good Craigslist deals on equipment.

Phase converter and a buck boost transformer.

Everlast 211si. Love this machine.

I bought an everlast 200 about a year ago for an inexpensive mobile welder to keep in the truck. Im pretty impressed with it for the price. My only real complaint is that the HF is way too weak.

i did notice the hf start on the tig acts more like a lift arc. But I rarely tig weld so it doesn’t bother me much. I bought it mostly for the mig and stick capabilities.

Here is my turd.
HiT brand stick welder. Only has two power settings. So little power, it’s difficult to run anything but 1/16th 6011.
Got it for free, the quality matches.

HiT brand stick welder. Only has two power settings. So little power, it’s difficult to run anything but 1/8th 6011.
Got it for free, the quality matches.

But if you can work with it, it's worth 100 x's the price.

Man, I put my floor in my 1988 with a borrowed chineseum 110v Flux core at the guidance of these fools.

That would have been badass compared to what i had.
