I did realize one thing after using a migwelder once you go to arc welding (which takes lots of practice and good hand eye coordination) using a mig is like a solder gun 69 280 SEL 120,000 Miles 72 350SL 108,000 Miles 2004 VW Passat 4 Motion 1999 Mazda Miata -----Original Message----- From: Zeitgeist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mercedes mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Fri, 25 Nov 2005 11:42:30 -0800 Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - MIG welders
I've never had any sorta luck with HF stuff that had more than three moving parts AND electrical current running through it. I recently bought a similarly sized Lincoln welder that I absolutely love (~$375). I can find replacement parts relatively easy and best of all, it's made right here in the Peoples Republic of Usa. Mig (with shield gas) is super/mega/hyper easy, but Oxy/Ace brazing can be maddeningly tricky for a novice, so if you can do the latter, the former will be a breeze. I just use my Oxy/Ace torch for cutting or heating stubborn fasteners, and do all my metal bonding work with the Mig setup.
