welding

do i need a 220v mig welder can i use a 110v mig welder to weld a 4 link and bag brackets

i used a 110 and the welds hold just fine...keep in mind to make several passes though

What size 110? Ive just got an hobart handler 145 and it works fine. You have to go slower and it dosnt have the duty cycle like a 220, but it gets the job done. I dont weld anything bigger than 1/4 in. with it.

does it need to be gas assisted

gas YES.....w/o looks like ass.....i also have a 110 and its done just fine....as noted. i also dont weld anything over 1/4 inch. anything under you should get good penitration depending on the welder

the bag brackets on my truck were done with a 110 lincoln,no gas.still on goin on a year

It helps to preheat the metal to get the best penetration when using a 110 on 1/4. But it can get the job done.

i don't think any thing is 1/4 thick

cant beat a millermatic 175!

i know many people that use gas with a good 110v welder and they dont have any problems. but i went and got the millermatic 210 (220-230v) weld to be safe. the millermattic 175 is basicaly the same thing just packaged different.
