Hitbox 250 Deal: Welders & Accessories

This welder was purchased to restore several vintage cars. I have owned and used arc and acetylene welders sporadically for many years. MIG is primarily required to weld certain body panels without warping due to excessive heat generated by other welding processes. Later I will use TIG to weld stainless steel railing for my boat. After about 10 minutes of experimenting with flux cored MIG I made some decent test welds. I received the TIG torch yesterday. Looks high quality. TO UPDATE. In the past few weeks I have tested the MIG Flux Core variant with the repair and replacement of several automotive sheet metal parts. Welder works great! While TIG is recommended for sheet metal welding, I have found that MIG works very well and is widely used. The staggered welding process avoids distortion. Many body parts are spot welded. After drilling the spot welds during disassembly, I drill holes in the new parts where the spot welds are. Then I find the MIG with moderate heat and crank the feed up. I also have a spot welder but most of the places I need to spot weld are not accessible with a spot welder.

Pros
  • MIG welder
Cons
  • old
