I got the truck completeley off the frame this weekend and the frame is
about ready to go to the sandblaster -- maybe tomorrow!
Anyway, I've been looking around at MIG welders and also thinking about
other options for welding patch panels, etc. I hear that MIG is great
but I already have a Lincoln Arc welder and a Campbell-Hausfield Flux
Core Wire welder (I should have saved my money and bought a MIG when I
bought it), but don't think I need three welders.
Does anyone have any experience with the stitch welder and the spot
welder that Eastwood or JC Whitney sells? These hook up to a standard
arc welder and use the lower amperages to weld sheet metal. I'd
appreciate your insight. If I 'have' to buy a MIG I will and probably
see if I can get rid of the CH welder. I think I'd like to keep the
Lincoln as there's always something big around here that needs welded.
Also, has anybody used the auto-darkening helmets. What do you think,
what is a good brand and where is the best place to buy.
Thanks,
