I had a Campbell?Hausefield for years. I paid less than $350 for it. It was MIG/Flux. I was good but I could never get real good welds. I recently bought a Hobart and have been able to lay down a much better bead. I do gas weld outside but only on calm days. Doing body work with out a garage. Flux wire is too thick for the thin metal. Lincoln, Miller or Hobart for the 110 machines. The Lincoln tombstone for an arc welder and are usually around 100 bucks on Craigs list. Mig is much easier to learn on.Good site http://weldingweb.com/ Jim
