OK,
I've been looking at welders, and am undecided between a MIG and a stick welder. I've been looking at:
A. The Lincoln Weld-pak 100, which is 115v and good for material up to 1/4"
B. The Lincoln AC 225, which is a 230v stick welder.
What should I go with? My intentions are to build a tire carrier (3/16 - 1/4" thick materail) and general light duty work. (repairs, etc.)
I'd rather go with 115v if you guys think it would be up to the task and do a good sturdy job, but if I have to go 220v I will, and make an extension. I only want to buy this once <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">.
I've only used stick welders before waaayyyy back in high school, so I understand how to run a bead with them, but it's been a while. Would a mig be a better choice? Sorry for beating a dead horse, but you guys know your sh*t (Blatant ass-kiss) <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">
