This is just a general inqury into what I should look for in a welder. There
are alot of options out there and need a little help making sense of it all. I
know the terms, know the difference in MIG vs Flux core, as far as how they
work but I am just looking for a good quality machine that will work well for
body work. Should I look at a MIG or a Flux core , which would work the best.
How many Amps should I need, and how thick should I look for, is 1/8" too
small. I figure if I'm spending the money, maybe I should look at something
that can go up to maybe 1/4" incase I need it later. I want the least
expensive option that can compromise with my needs. I am a beginner so I am
looking at the entry level models, mostly the Lincoln Electric brands but Sears
does have a Craftsman model for 199.99

I'm looking at spending no more than $300 or so.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
