Hello Everyone,
It calls for a 200 amp mig welder, I've used Mig in the past but was a much bigger fan of the stick welder simply because of the larger thickness of material you can weld with it. Does anyone currently in the fabrication process, perhaps at factor-e-farm, have any insight as the to advantages vs disadvantages between mig and stick welding?
Of course the mig offers smooth continuous welding, but costs much more and to my knowledge is constrained to smaller thicknesses. The Stick is riddled with several pauses to add a new stick, but is much less expensive around $250 for a 225 amp welder; and allows for the welding of incredibly thick material.
I just want everyone to weigh in on it before I drop a grand on a mig.
