Portable flux wire welder recommendation
We do a lot of boondocking and off roading so I carry an 80 amp wire flux welder. It's too small even for around the house. Not sure if a 130A will be much better especially on 115volt but it won...

Decided on a DC inverter welder
The Century FC90 has good reviews and priced right
Half the size and weight that i currently have
FC90
Tractor supply has something similar but 140amp
Probably not worth the extra money for what I need
140 amp
What utter garbage..
Do yourself a HUGE favor and buy a REAL welder up front the first time, then you will never have to revisit finding another one..
Something like a Millermatic autoset..
Millermatic 140A Autoset..
That pix is what I bought quite a few years ago after banging my head against the wall which inferior cheap garbage MIGs.
Hands down the autoset feature WILL make your life easier.
In auto set mode, you simply set the dial to the metal thickness and it will automatically set the current output AND the wire feed speed to the proper settings.
No joke..
I have no issue welding SHEET METAL with the autoset, don't try that with those cheap welders.
Do yourself another HUGE favor, do not bother with self shielding wire and get the shielding gas, your welds WILL vastly improve..
Not sure if that model is still available
I believe they may have replaced my model with this one..
Millermatic 211 which may be an inverter version..
Expensive, yes, but well worth doing right the first time instead of beating your head against the wall..
Best advice I've seen yet!
