- Hello good Spridgeteers, Found a price at a local discount tool outfit. Campbell-Hausfeld 145amp for $400 or a C-H 250amp for $390. The latter being cheaper makes me wonder. This place does have a ha

- C-H makes equipment marketed for us weekend warriors (lower bucks). Many people do not know it but many of the brand name air tools compressors and small welders are made by C-H and re-badged (Sears

- OK, while we are talking about welders, does the description below sound like a setup I could use? I can't tell if this is really a MIG welder, or something that is supposed to imitate it. I know tha

- Personally I would pass on that unit. The duty cycle is terrible. My old 40% duty cycle machine was a pain if you were welding something big. (like a trailer or a frame) What they mean by duty cycle

- Ditto also what Frank said. Flux core is real messy. The wire is real susceptible to breakdown from humidity. Gas is relatively cheap and you can weld half a Sprite together on one bottle. Don't ask.

- I wouldn't recommend it. Use a welder that uses bottle gas, it is a lot easier to use and makes cleaner welds that don't require cleanup after. -- Trevor Boicey, P. Eng. Ottawa, Canada, tboicey@brit.
