thanks for reading.

 

the search button will give you lots of answers...
Good welders will be spendy, especially to do structural welds on your frame.
Lincoln, and MIllers are top of the line

 

Wow. You might want to do some research. How much do you want to spend? How much experience do you have? What type of power do you have access to (120/230)? Check Craigslist. I'd buy a name brand to ensure you have a source for consumables and tech support.

 

i was leaning towards a lincoln but im not sure wich model to buy. i want to see if anyone that has experience welding on frames and such can give me a recomendation on a welder that they have used and works well.

 

i have access to 120 amp. i can spend up to like 600$. i have about a year and a half experience. i dont need to know how i just want a recomendation on a welder that works well for welding on the frame and suspension components. it needs to be strong enough to give the welds deep penetration. i dont want a weld breaking while im on the highway because the welds werent deep enough or strong enough.

 

id go with a 185 miller that would be my choice.
