It really depends on what you want to do with it.
I do a lot of automotive steel sheet metal repair, so I went with a Hobart MVP wire feed. It does a lovely job.
I’ve also got an aluminum gas welding setup for doing old aluminum sheet metal, oxy acetylene and a Meco midget.
Both are great, require practice, and are job specific.
Your messages say quite a bit. 8hr work day. 8AM on Monday. Clearly you’ve not worked at a company like Tesla, or in a role where more than 40hr wks was the norm/required.
Let’s get this all over with and once, and for all, and get rid of all of the Condors. THEY are the problem. No Condors, no lead poisoned Condors, no problem any more, no lead bullet ban.
