might be interested, why are you selling it? 3/7/2006 1:34:08 PM |
gk2004 All American 6237 Posts user info edit post |
Selling it for a friend who lost his shop. He had just bought the welder a week before he was evicted. I have been storing it @ my house and he told me just to sell it because he wasnt going to try and start another shop. My roomate worked for him when the welder was bought and was there when it closed. It was used twice by my roommate and worked fine. Its like just like new and has a full spool of wire already loaded. Come on over and check it out. 3/7/2006 1:50:09 PM |

oh please. anyone with minimal welding experience can easily weld on or to a frame no problem. most frames are only 1/8", few are 3/16". it's not a bad brand either. show me any popular name brand that has specs that good, especially the duty. just because it's not a miller or lincoln doesn't mean anything.3/7/2006 4:37:23 PM |

Thermadyne is the parent company Victor is the sub and firepower is the brand name.
Thermadyne is really nice high end stuff

And this would have no problem at all doing frame work

I want it, but I have a hard time justifying buying it. I am working a co-op in VA right now and live in an apartment complex. Don't know where I will live while in raleigh over the summer, and dont know where I will live when I come back to VA in the fall. I could take it to my parents and leave it in my dad's shop, but then I would never use it.
I'll think about it and get back to you this weekend or next week. Of course that assuming you don't sell it between now and then. But if you do, you do. 3/8/2006 1:21:17 PM |

that's the good thing about a 110, you can use one about anywhere as long as you've got a plug nearby or a decent extension cord. 3/8/2006 1:54:04 PM |

How much is the gas bottle? 3/9/2006 12:33:47 AM |
Jeepman All American 5882 Posts user info edit post |
it depends on how big you get it, and if you get a new bottle, what gas mix, etc. 3/9/2006 1:28:02 AM |

I'm a welder n00b...Can you give me a rough estimate for a mid-sized bottle and gas? Just have a few welding projects that I wouldn't mind doing myself to pick up a new skill. For example, I need to weld a new coupler onto my utility trailer. It's 1/8" steel. 3/9/2006 12:20:33 PM |
hondaguy All American 6409 Posts user info edit post |
Well you don't really need the gas, atleast not with this welder.

The gas is just to shield stuff in the air from reacting with the exposed metal during the weld, right? 3/9/2006 1:19:32 PM |
BigBlueRam All American 16852 Posts user info edit post |
you could use flux core wire, and have no need for gas. it works just fine, solid wire with gas just makes a nicer weld. flux core is better for outside use (wind) and if you're welding less than clean metal (dirt,rust, grease). when using solid wire and gas, the metal needs to be really clean/bare to get proper penetration. 3/9/2006 4:16:36 PM |
