i'm retired
just look'n to weld steel at home
a stick welder
for about 20 years i was attached at the hip to a lincoln
stovepipe
i've tried a couple of the cheap inverters and they are
better than noth'n
just barely
i know have'n a motor-generator unit at home is out of the
question
but surely something comes close
I have done some stick welding, but the flux fumes really
got to me.
I finally bought a Lincoln Square Wave TIG 250 on eBay and
it has been fantastic.
I can now weld in the basement and nobody even knows I'm
doing it. TIG is a lot
slower than stick, but you can actually see what you are
doing without the cloud of flux smoke,
and you can weld aluminum and copper, too!
You can likely find a decent TIG machine that isn't too
expensive, and give your lungs a break.
