Post by: Waytec on June 08, 2008, 08:23:20 PM

I am looking to get my first MIG welder gust going to be doing minor wielding on the Heep and a few other projects. Gust wondering if there is anything I should be looking for and things to avoid. I do know how to somewhat wield looking for something for home.

Do you have 230V? or are you looking for a 1110V? I am the Southern Alberta Rep for Acklands Grainger and I have a few that are great for first Welders.  Miller has features built in called Autoset to allow beginners to setup the machine with Ease. Also Hobart welders and also a great bang for the buck. Now remember when looking at Welders at Canadian Tire, Home Depot ect ect, that regardless of how much they look the same a retail stores welders are VERY different then what you buy from an industrial supplier. You do get what you pay for.
If I can help in any way let me know
