How much welder do I need?

[Matt@RFR]

In other words, on the lowest setting, most any welder will have 100% duty cycle.

Craftsman 110v 90amp model

Except for that one.

If a name brand that can be associated with anything other than welding/plasma machines has their name on a little MIG, don't buy it. (Chicago Electric, Craftsman, etc.) They're a ton cheaper, until you figure in the swear jar. Supah Junk.



And another thing. For the guys who say you should only get what you need, I have this to say: My 300 amp Miller 251 will outweld any 135 on 20ga. The bigger machines are just better. If you want 'better', go big.
