Welding help!! Which type?

(1/3) > >>

BigBlueBeast:
I am new into the welding game, and after seeing just having a hole welded in the sill of my car, I am wanting to go bigger and get my own welder to do general jobs. I want one that will weld VERY thin steel (sports car body panels) but also Landy chassis. I dont want to blow holes in the car, but dont know whether to get ARC, MIG, Gas or Gasless. Any help on here would be appreciated!

Terranosaurus:
Mig sounds like the thing for you, gas MIG is usually better but gasless is perfectly good and can certainly have its uses if you need to weld outside (with a breeze) - theres also a fair number of Gas/No Gas MIGs about.

You'll struggle to weld thin panels with  ARC, OxyAcetalene gas welding can be good on panel work but then you're into licenses etc an it all gets too compicated for DIY use IMHO.

piggysteve:
Check out these guys mate, some good advice on here.

As said above....gas-MIG

topless matt:
Def gas mig for what you need, if it is outside, put a screen up to shield it from the wind and you will be fine.
