Power Requirement 115/1/60

i was always 'told' to stay away from any welder that runs off of 115 unless you just build models & fix swingsets.The only time i ever tried 1 was before i could run a bead.....


I think you could rig up a on board welder for as cheap,and in the long run have a more usefull setup.

I have an older SP155 / 220volt machine. It's done just about everything I've ever wanted, good machine.

does the 220v have to have one of them big wall plugs? cas i dont want to have to hire a electrician just to get a welder.

i'm not sure i need an onboard welder just yet. i just wanted somthing i could do paperthin sheetmetal and still make good bumpers and maybe burn up a simi-custom lift.

If your looking for a good welder that won't bust your wallet, I would get a gas powered Arc welder. I have one that I bought from Tractor Supply and I've used it on everything you could think of, as long as you get the right electrode's (rods) that match the material and thickness your welding you'll be fine. Seriously, I wouldn't waste my time at Home Depot when Tractor Supply has a much better selection and better prices. Miller's and Hobart's are probably the best money can buy, but there are tons of other great machines that aren't big name brands, just check it out and see what fits you best.
