[95civicgsr]

hey guys,i have been thinking about buying a little welding machine and learning how to weld. if anyone has a nice cheap mig or fluxcore mig lmk. or if you know of anyone selling them new for cheap lmk as well. thanks

How cheap you lookin? And what are gonna use it for? Exhaust?, manifolds? The thicker the metal the higher amperage you will need = a more expensive machine. Cheapest flux core is around $260 for a Lincoln. It will weld up to 1/8 inch steel but if you want to mig with it you will need to buy a mig conversion kit and they run around $100.Cheapest mig is around $460 and will weld 1/2 inch steel with flux core wire. There are many more out there at different prices. Jlmk what your lookin to get out of the machine and i'll help you find one J.
