Total cost to be up and (sort of)running? $55 plus shipping.ĭo you guys think this old welder is worth it or should I look elsewhere? Keep in mind this is a hobby that I don't have a lot of time or money to spend on now. Total cost of getting this $30 welder up and running? I'm guessing $175.Īnother option I'm considering is a 45-100 amp, 220V stick welder from Homier with a $5 flip-front hood. Fortunately, the welder will be sitting directly below my electric subpanel. And I need to add the 220V breaker and an outlet in my shop. So I'll need to buy 50 feet of cable, a work clamp, an electrode holder, and two plugs to go into the machine.

Are all welding cable connections a standard type of plug, or are there any proprietary types out there (particularly on an old machine like this one)? Since this does not come with cables, I'll need to buy or make some up. Will I just burn through with this stick welder? I doubt I'll be working with anything thicker than 1/4". The Lincoln has a 40 duty cycle, Marquette 60 duty cycle, and not sure about the Miller. Been wanting to get into TIG for a while, don't want to spend a boat-load on one though. My question, is what is the low range of this unit? Some of the material I've been experimenting with is 1/16 to 1/8" thick. For welders, I currently have the usual Lincoln 225ac red tombstone stick welder, and a Century 130 120v mig with small tank. The guy selling it sent a small picture, it doesn't really show the taps well. 5 History: Merriman are the second owner, Service and repair hist Keep In.

$30 is the asking price for the machine with nothing else. I'm thinking about buying an old Marquette Redi-Arc welder.
