Great looking site!
My name is Mike. I've been welding for about 15 years.
I build custom traction bars, Control arms (uppers and lowers), Cross members, Fabricated 9" housing's and other sorts of racing products.
Although, I don't do it full time. It feels like it.
I mainly use TIG and MIG.. In racing they really don't allow too many things to be stick welded.
I am an Electrician by trade and have seen Pipe Fitters make some of the most beautiful welds with stick so, I know it can be done.
The main reason I came here is because I am searching for an alternative MIG welder.
My Miller 211 burned up for the last time and I am sick of it.
My TIG is a HTP Invertig 201. It has ran smooth as silk from the day I bought it.
I did catch a lot of slack for buying it over the big name brands.
But, ALL of my Miller or Lincoln welders have all had issues.
It's time for change.
I would be grateful if someone could lead me to some comparison welds with a Everlast machine.
1/4" is about as thick as I really need but, Having the ability to do more would be a bonus.
220v Single Phase.
Within the next week or so, I WILL be buying a new machine and I need real input.
I'm tired of spending my hard earned money on what's supposed to be the "Best" only to be let down in the middle of a project.
