I am thinking about buying a welder. What do you guys think about a Lincoln electric MIG-Pak 10. you can look at http://www.eastwoodcompany.com. any suggestions would be great.

Lincoln welders are ok, if you can get your hands on a Miller, they are excellent MIG and TIG welders. I would get a more versatile model, one that has the power to do everything from exhaust pipe, to shock mounts, to even frame rails if needed.

I've got the similar unit, sold at Home Depot, without the regulator. Works great for stuff up to 3/16" thick, but thicker metal needs many passes. That's not bad if you practice and get good at it, just takes longer. I have an old arc welder I use for the thick stuff. If you have the money, go for the bigger 220V units with interchangeable tips and wire. My 2 cents......

I found a Miller flux cored wire feed welder at a pawn shop for $160. Haven't had any problems with it. I used it to put one of my floor pans in. I would still like to have an arc welder just for general purpose and for welding the thick stuff.
