Minimum size welder for repairs?

jeudi 1 mai 2014

I have some rusty outriggers at my wheel wells and perhaps late this season I might pull some banana wrap to look for other rusty sections of the frame.



I've done a little AC stick welding decades ago with good results but I needed someone to tell me what size rod to use and what amperage setting. Therefore I plan to take an evening welding class first, and purchase a small welder for making my repairs.



I've seen some inexpensive welders at Harbor Freight, but need to know the size in amps that would be the minimum for getting the job done. MIG, AC stick, any one better for this than the other?



I will most likely need to install a dedicated outlet in my garage to power the welder since I only have 15 amps out there now. Main breaker size is 200 amps. Installing an outlet will be easy enough for me, but you can see I have some limitations in the power available for running a welder.
