​

anyone want to a stick welder so a mig welder? i have a brand new lincoln AC/DC stick welder from orchard supply. it cost $535. i welded with it twice and im terriable at it. i took a class on stick welding and i can do ok but not as good as a could with a MIG.

Just keep practicing, that welder will do a lot for 1/3 the cost of a Mig.

are migs really that much?

If you want one the same quality as that welder expect to pay at least 3X what you paid for this one. If you get anyone interested in a trade it is going to be for an older, lower quality unit.

My Linclon 110v mig was $ 490. Should have bought 220v for bigger stuff , but I have a Linclon Ranger in back of service truck for that.

Just keep at it and watch your heat you'll learn fast
