I am thinking of getting a welder and know very little about it, 140-150 amp seems to be correct for welding on a car, do i need tig, mig :?: gasless with wire sounds the easiest. any help appreciated :wink:

How about this? whats the difference between stick and wire? :wink:

I went and bought a mig welder to do the cars with. As there's more adjustment to the different thinkness of metal than a stick welder?

[walters300]

thanks for that :wink: does the mig have gas? And is that wire spool? As you can see i am no specialist!

I'm no expert at welding, but I asked the same questions before I bought a welder.
Yes it does use gas and have spools of wire.
The model I bought can be used with or without gas. An weld steel/stainless or aluminium using the collect wire/gas.
