mig welder

Post by wt4speed#2 »

Well Guys

Jumped off today.Found a Lincoln Electric Weld Pak 3200HD Wire Feed Welder. This welder or it's equivalant was any where from $475.00-$550.00 every where I looked today> Found it in a pawn shop. It's hardly been used , she had it out @ $299.95, I offered her $200.00 cash, she wanted $225.00+ tax as well we settled @ $ 240.00 cash out the door. It was just the welder, missing the rest of the pak,but I think I made a good deal . It feeds and will strike an arc so It'll weld I just gotta play with it ,gonna try to get a manual off the internet first though.
Stay tuned

I really like it. You might try Lincoln's website above and see if they have a manual for it.

Your gonna love it. Get a bottle of 75/25 for it and you'll be happy.
I got a Hobart thats probably real similar. I got it used too. Like new,
about 1/2 price. It came with everything cept the gas bottle. For a small
one the local welder supply shop got me for about 120.$.

score : :D

nice little welder, I love my little portable work horse linc it great for any thing under 5/16, and I find its the best body work and light fab welder around. I have mostly retired my large welder now the lincs just
hard to beat for feed/power selections.

but if your at the track, or in the driveway nothing beats the 035 shielded wire, gas just doesn't like the wind :hmm:

best thing is you can get every thing for it at home depo for that welder:D
WHAT ?

I think I'm gonna like it . Already been offered $300.00 for it if I don't like it or find it's not big enough for my needs . I think after some reading, til I can afford the gas and regulator set up(was not Pawned complete) I'm gonna run some .030 shielded(flux core) for general puttering. And my buddy said That running gas with flux wire makes for pretty and strong welds and wont hurt a thing
