What brand welding machine would you recommend?


Recommended Posts

Hi, our automotive repair facility is looking to purchase a new welding machine to start repairing catalytic converters, exhaust systems, and mufflers. Any suggestions for a particular brand to recommend? Also, any insights for any distributors or where to purchase catalytics from?

 

Thanks in advance for your help and opinion.

Miller makes MIG wirefeed welders for steel and TIG for aluminum. Both can be had fairly cheap off craigslist ... just keep your eye out for them. Also, make sure you'e got power for it at your shop.

 

I would also grap a Speedglas helmet ... it auto-dims, so you do not have to constantly flip your helmet up and down while welding. A lot of guys will criticize these saying that the time it takes to auto-dim is too long, and your eyes can get injured. Maybe. I've never had any issues with them and have welded for 15 years.
