My small tractor service business occasionally requires me to weld occasionally. I use acetylene now but was looking at something more convenient and cheeper.
Requirements:
1. Metal not more then 1/4 inch thick.
2. More portable the better.
3. Hoping to be able to use my honda 2000 watt inverter generator.
3. Rusted metal but I do have grinders.
4. Speed is not a big issue because I only weld 5 or 6 hours a month for repair and fabrication.
From what I see flux core can weld thicker materials using less input. Also can weld without doing quit as much grinding as mig. Are those statements true. Hopefully I could get away without caring around the bottle of gas.
Any suggestions?
