welding equipment for home use....(jeep stuff)
hey guys! got a question for all of you with home welders. i'm thinking
about getting a home setup-i'm thinking MIG. what are some of the things i
should be looking for on a home setup? i'd like it to work with 110v and be
able weld 3/16 wall material (for bumpers and such). what are some good
brands out there? thanks!

hi serg,
figure out what you want to do today and what you may want to do tomorrow
and then purchase a machine that will grow with you. as a professional
welder i only purchase and recommend miller equipment. i encourage you to
take the time to read this write up that i have made for this exact purpose:
http://CollierWelding.com/tech/welders
it will explain the differences and explain my recommendations. for what
you describe you could get by with a millermatic 135, but if its within your
means i highly recommend the millermatic 210, 251 if you want to go all out.
should you have any specific questions or if you would like for me to
directly compare the MM135 with any other comparable unit to show you why
you should purchase the 135 just let me know.

Re: welding equipment for home use....(jeep stuff)
I own a Lincoln Procore 135 with the gas setup, it is excellent for all
hobby lobby stuff at home. You can weld up to 5/16" thick that is plenty
for just about all your needs. It runs on 115vac and draws about 15 amps.
I was a certified welder in the Coast Guard and welded on everything from
ship hulls to cranes. Attached is my web site with some pics of me welding
on an turbine exhaust on a CG ship. I do a lot of welding in my work shop
and even have built a couple of custom chopper frames for guys. I am
presently getting ready to fab some brush guards for my new Sahara going to
make them from 316L SST and then polish them to look like chrome. My 2
cents.
