Looking to purchase a welder or welders in the near future, and want to know the auto board's opinion.
I have stick welded in the past, but I want to learn auto body work, so I want a mig machine, and would eventually like to do TIG, though I understand the learning curve may be steep.
Brands I am looking at right now are Lincoln and Everlast, but I am open to suggestions. Miller seems to be significantly more expensive, so I have more or less ruled them out.
Does anyone have personal experience with any of the multiprocess machines? Or should I buy one machine to do a certain job?
I will be doing auto body, possibly frame work in the future, and I have a trailer smoker that needs some attention (heavy, so a stick welder will be the likely best tool for that job)
Curious how useful the 110 migs are for body, in my experience 220 was absolutely needed to do anything significant with a stick.
