How cheap is cheap??

I build MIG welders, but ours start at around $2000.00 and go to $6000.00.
We do have some imported stuff, let me know your budget and I'll see what I can do.

BTW, gasless MIG is terrible to weld with and doesn't produce a good finish. You might as well grab one of those cheap (I've seen them for less that $100.00) ARC welders, pretty much the same result as gasless MIG...

Anyway, if you let me know what you're going to do with it I can recommend something to suit the job.

True SICK SS, but we also sell dedicated "gasless MIGs"...

you can find small "SIP" welders , in gasless ( i have used them and are ok for small jobs ) but dont leave a good quality finish , i went and bought a gas welder for $900 and hired a bottle , never looked back , try ebay if you want a 2nd hand one , BUT you may be buying someone elses problems , why not look at hiring one for the weekend , do what needs to be done.. cheaper in the long run if you wont be using it often

i just want a small one for odd jobs here and there, do really care if the end result doesnt look great, as most of the things i will do with it, the welds will be grounded down

buy a little inverta stick welder and a set of GP rods you be welding like a pro in no time

Inverter's FTW, tiny in size and great welds.
