What method of welding would suit my needs best? Mig? Stick? Or Tig?
Hello,
I know very little about welding beyond brazing which is far from an exact art. I have come to realize I desire significantly more precision. Some say Mig's wouldn't be what I want, but stick looks alright, everyone seems to agree that tig's are the best looking, most efficient welds. Stick welders appeal to me because they seem to accomplish the same goal but at the same time, cost a bunch less than tigs. I am welding some where between 18 and 14 gauge aluminum, mostly 16 gauge at the moment.
My price range is probably nothing over 1,000, I am not sure if I should aim for quality brands like miller, hobart and lincoln as this will be my first welding machine so it doesn't need to last for 20 years or so. I have been looking into those brands though, I can't really tell a difference amongst each one other than some cost more than others and some seem to run with different amperage and such.
Thank you!
I believe TIG is the best for what you are describing: 18-14 Ga Aluminum. TIG in my opinion gives you better control than either of the other two. MIG would be my second choice. I feel stick is rather crude and is difficult to control on thin gauge stuff. That said, TIG is probably the most difficult to find under $1000.
Your best bet may be to check out local pawn shops. In this economy I bet you could score a good buy for this type of equipment if you are willing to shop around. Check the obvious while you're at it: Craig's list and local news paper. Also spread the word to friends and peeps you run into, they may know somebody that is looking to offload theirs.
The three you mention are all good brands. I would add ESAB to the list of top performers. If you can afford the top brands, I'd recommend it. There is nothing more frustrating than fiddle-f*****g with second rate equipment. Besides, it may last forever and still hold value = resell.
