Blue Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 ok so im looking to buy a welder and shit soon, and im not to sure of the difference between flux welders, arc welders, and any other types of welders there are.the one im looking at is Chicago Electric 90 amp fluc wire welder. is it any good? is it reliable? First off i agree with rusty, what do you need welded. Second, that welder is a piece of crap, my buddy bought that same one a couple years back and has had nothing but problems with it. It has a duty cycle of 10%, which it will take for ever to do any kind of welding with it. formerly known as Blue86f150 its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies. Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive this sux camel dicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskii Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Just look at a max 100Amp reputable brand MIG. If you're only doiung brackets, 100Amps is plenty. If ya doin H/D like 1/2 plate, then you'll need a bit more. D'you have CIG weld in the U.S? I've got a CIG 220Amp and it's best investment ever.
