DeleriousZ Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'm in the process of welding in some new sheet metal for the floors of my z31 (rust repair) and am finding that even with a Lincoln Mig Pak 10 using FCAW it's too much for the stock floors to handle. The 18ga metal I'm using as replacement can take it fine however. I am desperately seeking a bottle so I can use the welder like it was meant to be, thin stuff is so much easier using GMAW process.

langfordchuck Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Yes, I just purchased my MIG Lincoln 180, and finally got the cash for the tank. I was wavering on the tank (another $250 into tools, not car parts, ouch...) My mechanic told me, " don't learn how to weld with flux core and then later get gas: learn on the final set up". In other words, cut your learning curve down. Plus, flux core sux: it is messy and takes lots of grinding to clean up right. Its expensive, but i think you have to bite the bullet.

BayAreaZT Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Anyone else looking to buy a mig welder check your home depot. My co-worker just bought an open box Lincoln 175HD for less than $250. Lucky bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
