At present, there are several welders available in the market and it can be a little confusing for an average person to consider which one to buy. In most of the cases, what you buy is actually determined by the kind of project that you will be doing in most of the times. But, if the case is that you are new to the welding, then your first welder will probably be a stick or a wire feed welder because they are the most easiest process to make use of. However, the system of wire welder sometimes is easier, as in this you need to constantly make use of a feed into your gun for welding.

While, in a stick welder, you have to change the stick occasionally as it runs out. In addition, wire welder is quite easy to use, which provides better quality weld and one can learn it relatively faster than the stick welding. Another thing that is quite important is the selection of the kind of welding that you generally wish to do. Basically, two types of welding are there: Flux cored wire welding and Gas Metal Arc Welding or MIG. Both of them vary largely, so it is essential to understand the basic difference between the two.

While considering doing welding for small repairs, you can probably go for the services of MIG welder as it is very much versatile with the types of work pieces it can weld. If you are thinking of using it for your internal use, then it is wise to go for the MIG welder. However, the process is not very portable, as you need to use a container full of shielding gas with it. Flux coated wired welding, on the other hand is probably the best choice to do a lot of outside welding.

Since flux is already present in your machine, you may not require a shielding gas and this will make it more portable. The only concern with this welding type is that through this you can only weld one steel type. The other better idea is to go online and check out as many welding forums as you can and make sure to ask about the various welders. You can even read many archives and can ask for specific questions related to your requirements, and can receive guidance from other welders too.

Hello,

Today we go over some tips if you are interested in buying a welder.
What to look for, what to think about, what will matter to you when
you get it home.

What to Look for When Buying a Welder
There are so many welders on the market it can be confusing to the
average person as to which one to buy. For the most part, what you
buy will be determined by the kind of project you will be doing
most of the time.

If you are new to welding your first welder will probably be a
stick or a wire feed welder because they are the easiest to use. A
wire welder sometimes is easier because you will use a continuous
feed into your gun as you continue to weld. In a stick welder,
you’ll need to change the electrode or “stick” periodically as it
runs out. Also, the wire welder will be easier to use, give you
better welds from the beginning and you can learn it relatively
quicker than stick welding.

The next thing you will have to decide is the type of welding you
will do most of the time. Generally there are two types: Either Gas
Metal Arc Welding (MIG) or flux cored wire welding. These two are
very different in their delivery so it is important to know the
difference between the two. When you are going to be doing welding
for small repairs, you probably will want to get an MIG welder
because it is very versatile in the types of materials it can weld.

If you are going to use it in your garage at home or the same
location, the MIG welder will be perfect. It is not very portable
because you have to also use a container of shielding gas with it.
If you are going to do a lot of outside welding, then you will
probably want to use the flux cored wired welding. Since flux is
already in your machine, you won’t need a shielding gas and this
makes it more portable.  The only problem is that with this type of
welder, you can only weld one type of steel.

Another idea is to go online and check out the many welding forums
and ask about the various welders. You can read archives and ask
specific questions about your needs, and receive guidance from
other welders.

If you buy your welder through an industrial products manufacture
you may find a welder that does both.

When you buy your welder it is also important to make sure you
purchase the safety equipment need. For some you will need a full
safety helmet and for others you will need at least safety goggles.
However, you can be exposed to fumes, arcs that go haywire,
electric shock and other hazards so you will want to make sure that
you have what you need.

Other ideas for getting the welder you need include renting or
buying used. In some situations either of these options can be a
good idea. If you are only going to use a welder occasionally, you
might consider renting one. If you are going to purchase a used
one, it is a good idea to go with upper end purchases because they
are made better than the cheaper models.
