Question to all the welders out there!!!
I have a 110v flux core welder. Used it to weld in a patch on driver quarter panel, messy and tough to do. Reason it's tough is cause it's not as forgiving. You don't have as many adjustments as far as wire speed/voltage. If you're not very good, you can and will burn through, or your weld won't have the depth needed to be good. 208/220 will give you that flexibility. Also the 110v can not be used to lay out a bead. Best use is spot welding metal up to about a 1/4 inch thick, so it's not the heavy duty, you're limited to what you can do. The transformer will not handle being on for any amount of time, the overheat function will shut it down. Not to scare you, but that is what I know. If you can get a cheap one, then it would be great to use as a learning tool. Then eventually move to the better more expensive one. But overall look, look, then look some more before buying. And learn the pros and cons of each one. Do a LOT of research first.
