Re: What welder to weld floor and body panel.
Quote:
I don't know what the specs are for that machine I was using that day but lets use a 50% duty cycle as a for instance. 50% duty cycle means that out of a 10 minute period, you can only use that machine for 5 minutes. So now you paid $600 for a power source and it only has a 50% duty cycle. You're welding up that whizz-bang car hauling trailer out of super mega thick steel. You got your power source cranked up to just about its max output. You start a bead. Now every minute you weld, you have to wait a minute for the machine to cool off. Long story short, I bought a Miller.

Re: What welder to weld floor and body panel.
I bought a Lincon 180C. 230V w/ gas. Worth every penny. Remember if you go with a 230V machine you'll need to do some wiring.
