Has anyone used this: Multi Mig Argon Shield Welder, Model 90070-71

I posted an earlier thread about welding and the GSR came up with some great recommendations as where to start. That thread has disappeared, so I'm starting another one.

Does anyone have personal experience with this unit (Multi Mig Argon Shield Welder, Model 90070-71) and working on motorcycles?

I'm not looking to use it for doing any work on frames. I do not have 220V in the garage nor is the garage close enough to the house dryer to run an extension cord. I see using it for building brackets and other lighter gauge work (plus removing the odd broken bolt )

i use a 90amp flux welder and it is great for welding anything up to 1/4 inch. after using it for the past 2 years and welding up the cage on my landscaping trailer ive learned to lay decent beads with it. the post says 15amp which is very low im not sure if that is the correct output or a mistake by the poster

I'm pretty sure the poster means it requires a 15amp circuit breaker. I can't imagine welding anything with that kind of output.

that welder will be plenty for any type of welding you would do in a usual home garage/shop. unless your running some fabrication shop it will definetly be good

I've had a small 110v mig and for what you want to do it's prefect..
I don't have any idea about that particular model so bring some pieces of steel and see how it works before you buy.

One tip.. Get yourself a heavy duty extension cord.. I got some 25' 10gauge cords and they really help.
