Default Re: welders?

I dont think tig is the answer, you have to be really talented to use tig and have good results. My choice is mig 023 wire with arg/co2 mix, dont use straight co2 it will penetrate more than you want causing warpage and causing you to blow holes. I use Lincoln Sp130, it has variable voltage and wire speed, its fairly old, so the number probably been updated to Sp150 or so. Very good welder, make tacks about every 1/2 inch and weld downhill I f possable, if not trigger the gun to keep the weld cool as possable, too much heat means warpage and weld buildup. My biggest problem I cant see well anymore. John
