welders?

[cowboy]

Hey i'm thinking abotu buying a lincoln mig welder that uses the standard 110 outlet and the modle is mig pak 10. i was wondering if 500$ is a good price? it is brand new. Comes with mask gauge for the gas bottle and wire. I do know how to weld. i learned to weld in school. i've used a welder like this and it welds pretty good for sheet metal which is what i'll be doing mostly with this. we have a arch welder for heavier metal.

Cowboy,
I recently bought a Lincoln welder similar to what you are talking about and it works great. It runs both flux and non-shielded wire and works perfect. Mine is a 3200 HD and I paid around $430 for it. Included were a handheld mask that made it's way to the trash can, a 2 lb spool of flux wire, a 2 lb spool of MIG wire, regulator, and cart. It sounds like a pretty good deal but shop around a lot before you buy one.

what wire are you using? are you using the flux or the non-sheilded wire? My Neighbor has the flux and i didn't like the way it welded. anyways. The welder i am thinking about getting doesn't come with a cart but i could build one. with the welder i'm getting. Thanks

I tried the flux but it leaves slag behind like a stick welder. I prefer to use the non-shielded or TIG it.
