Get on the Harbor Freight site, I just bought a 120v Wire Welder that doesn't need shield gas for $120.00. A plasma cutter runs about $250.00 at Harbor Freight (with a coupon). Also got a nice 900w generator run by a 2hp motor for $99.00. It's going to be the hybrid part of my beach wheelchair. Harbor Freight Tools

For cheap barstids like me an' cuddy, they made this thread: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread... - The Garage Journal Board

If you have a GOOD or BAD experience with a H-F POS Tool, they urge you to jine-up an' Tell The World.

I have the 220v HF wire welder and it works well for the $159 I paid for it. Works with aluminum, too, and has a gas port if I want to use it.

As it happens the International Union of Operating Engineers (AFL-CIO) Local 286 of which I am a 31 year Journey level member also covers welders, If I have anything I need welded I just bring it in and my Union Brothers do it for me on their break times........I usually buy them lunch so whatever that costs.

cycledude1,

The image admin on this site doesn't work.

You need to load the stuff on another site, like imageshack, then post the link.
