Wire welder

[John Hofstetter <hofs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At times, various members of the digest have sought and received advice
on wire welders with, or without, gas capability. Ive read the
responses and took note of what was said for future reference.

I ended up buying a Lincoln welder with gas capability from
Weldingmart.com.  It is refurbished and carries a 3 year parts and
labor warranty from Lincoln. It was $370 which is $200 off the price of
a new one.

I was looking for a 115 volt welder with Aluminum welding capability,
one that I could move around for odd jobs. Ive never used a wire
welder and I think Ill have to fly Jim Aos down to teach me how.  My
220 volt stick welder that is at least 40 years old isnt portable. It
is so non-portable that the wheels have rotted off of it.

Anyway, anyone considering a wire feed welder should take a look at the
web site and look at the specs of that refurbished welder. Good buy, I
think.
