![]() ![]() I feel that is a huge key to getting a running start, as opposed to limited, step-controls. Get a MIG that has infinitely variable voltage and wirefeed speed controls. ![]() but UV is not good for you so i always recommend gloves. Mig spatters less than stick so you only get burnt now and then. imho only suitable for throwing in the bin. with a mig you can use fluxcore (assuming it comes with the right rollers for it) but a "fluxcore welder" cannot mig.įluxcore welders are cheap nasty cut down migs. This has all been done within the year and I am happy as can be with all my machines. The alphatig was purchased for a few reasons, 1) my tombstone is an AC/DC Lincoln but needs 50 amps to run properly, I only had 30 available, I am selling it now because the alphatig does arc welding also, even came with a stinger. My last purchase was an AHP AlphaTig 201xd. I finally got a place where I can have some toys and first one I bought was a Lincoln easy mig 180, best I could afford, then I wanted a plasma cutter, bought an Amico Cut50, price was right, reviews good and I wasn't doing high quality/ high production stuff, just me playing around. ![]() I have always wanted to learn to weld, played with my grandfathers old arc welder when I was younger, ( i just turned 55). I am in the same boat as you, hobby welder, but WITH my toys. Is he that good, or do mig guys have super powers? also, what's with these show guys welding without gloves? I was watching the guy on custom garage mig welding a body panel sans glove. I'm contemplating a flux core welder, but I was wondering if flux fore is just as strong. I might want to invest in another welder for welding thin stuff, but because I only do this occasionally, don't want to invest a lot of money into this. whenever I watch these car fabrication shows, they're either using mig or tig welding. presently I use a lincoln 225 ac stick welder. People do it because they're to lazy to put on gloves, simple as that.īurnttoast wrote:Hello all, I'm just a hobbyist welder. It exposes you to hot material, potential burns, and UV/ABC radiation. Lastly, welding with no gloves is not the smartest thing. Some more budget friendly machines like the Lincoln 210MP can run dual shield 71M which gets you similar weld properties as an ER7018 stick electrode. You can run flux core wire and proper hardwire from one. A proper mig would be a good idea if you plan to grow into it. Flux core wire is primarily used when shielding gas is not available, such as an in the field application, or when shielding gas would be blown away by the wind. I'm sure you'll learn quite a bit from using it. That out of the way, don't let that stop you from grabbing a flux core if that is all that is in your budget. Is this thing I am welding on going to be put into service with certain loads that may cause it to break? What happens when it does. That being said you are likely not doing code work, but it is something to keep in mind. NR211 is probably what you would see in a home depot welder and is banned for all code work. I can share with you what I understand that may help you out.įirstly, flux-core that is not NR232 or NR233 should never be used in a structural or safety application. I'm not much of a mig guy but I've been looking to get into a mig machine myself for my home shop. (0.It may help to mention what your budget is. Aluminum (with optional spool gun) 16 ga.
