Lately I have been really interested in the subject and I want to learn to weld! I see you are very talented at what you do. Do you have any pointers for me? I would like to get started with this ASAP! A buddy of mine has a nice welder and I'm sure I can practice with that. Should I go to school for it? Hands on? Internet tips? Etc, etc... |

Nice! What do you guys recommend for a budget welder for doing manifolds and motor mounts and such?

im not expert by any means, but i seen decent/old tig welders go for a real low price, from what i have learn you dont need anything fancy to put out great looking welds. practice practice!

But is the look of the weld as important as the strength of the weld? I always see people boasting about how their welds look, but nothing about how well they will actually hold up.

if you're going to do manifolds, you'll want a tig. and i'm not sure the words 'tig' and 'budget' go together.
i have a Thermal Arc Arcmaster 185 and i'm extremely happy with it for the price (~$1700 new) made some VQ --> s14 motor mounts this past week |

I will be selling my Everlast 200dx tig with upgraded pedal and optionally my ck9 torch setup in ontario, Canada if anyone is interested. I need more amps for 1/2" aluminum.

It's a Miller Dynasty 200DX all said and done I paid about $6500 for the entire setup, I did a lot of research before I decided this is what I needed to do the job right, IMO there was no compromise it had to be a TIG machine so I choose this one in particular, its actually fun learning this shit! Good fitment and cleanliness is very important and if you have a garage I suggest you use it, I don't so I do all my TIG welding outside and even a lil breeze is your enemy lol .... |

That's mild steel in the pictures and 99% fusion weld, from what I experienced in my little experience is that heat affected zone grow a lot more with mild steel vs stainless steel because I have welded a few times stainless steel and in all honestly seems even easier to get nicer welds on SS vs MS but cost a lil more then double.

Stainless transfers heat faster than 30 percent faster than mild so heat affected zone would be worse on stainless if you linger. There is a alot of good info about travel speed
