This is going to be my first welder. What's a decent welder on a budget? I just want to do some basic welding, like an exhaust.

110v please.


Also, that being said, I need to weld O2 bungs into my new headers. Should I weld them in before mounting the headers? Is there a bolt on option that would be easier?

Resale on 120V welders is crap, so you might as well just buy the Harbor Freight flux core. If your CL is anything like mine, it's flooded with them because people are instantly disappointed.

I had one, hated it. Couldn't give it away, so I scrapped it.

[edit] Before I had 240V in the garage, I used to borrow a friend's Hobart and run it off a generator. Not sure if you have a generator, but that opens up your options.
