I agree with the other posts on MIG... I have the little Miller, but have
also used the Lincoln some. Once you use solid core wire with inert
shielding gas, you will never go back to flux core wire. The flux core
splatters a lot more. I have welded Sprite sheetmetal with reasonable
success despite my amateur status as a welder, using the gas.
The other acccesory worth mentioning is a self-darkening helmet... Again,
once you have tried it, you will never go back. I just bought a
self-darkening lens for my regular helmet, that works off of the solar power
from the welding arc - NO Batteries! It was not cheap (about $100.00), but
for accuracy in starting welds, it's very cool.
