[QUOTE="thill, post: 502689, member: 4972"] Pretty much, yes. I've have stick welders, and use them for fixing trailers and fabricating stuff. We were helping a neighbor move, and I saw his Eastwood MIG and said I wanted one someday. He said I could have it for $100. DEAL! I'd seen videos of how to set up a MIG to weld aluminum, so I immediately rented an Argon bottle of gas and started testing, and it worked much easier than I had been led to believe. You just have to move FAST to prevent burn-through, or just stop and go a lot. If you want to try welding, find a MIG on Marketplace for cheap and play around with it. MIG is great especially for lighter gauge steel welding. A nice tool to have in your arsenal. Once you start welding, it gets kind of addictive. You find yourself fixing and making stuff you never would have before. [/QUOTE]
