    I am looking into purchasing a welder for my build and was hoping if you guys can shed some light as to what type of welder I should use for some sheet metal & moulding work, nothing to overkill but enough to get the jobe done right. I've done "some" welding years ago and will definitely need to practice a bit, I'm sure it'll come back to me, I hope!! Any brand names, size and ball park figure on price? Thanks in advance for your time and comments, greatly appreciated!!!

    Nothing against the Hobart, I would look into a Lincoln 135 MIG welder. It is built for a 110 outlet and will have more than enough power for what you are using it for. I own an old Lincoln 100 and I love it. I have had it for 5 years.

    I also suggest the lincoln because you can get parts for it a little easier. Every Welding store has parts and stuff for a Lincoln and or a Miller. I also know Miller makes a little wire welder too.

    Good Luck with what ever you get.

    I recommend you try the search function. This has been covered about a hundred times.
