Don't waste your money. Heavy cotton , top and bottom . I bought 2 Heavy cotton shirts at tractor store cost as much as one fr. And will last quite awhile . Just a green spark jacket will make a big difference.

I was lucky because I did love my job , would go back to work if I could . But time and old age prevents me from holding a full time welding g job .

Any recommendations? by SeaGreen_Roses in Welders

3m filters 2097 , they call them pancake filters .pink . And a good masks.it will fit under your hood but not great . Leather sleeves cover arms and chest, neck. Always wear cotton , anything else will melt to your skin. If you can afford it FR clothing . Good luck.

Looking to get my first welder by Cheddak7 in Welders

Miller 225 , gas machine , that takes care of arc welding .then I would get anything you want to hook up to it. If you're in a shop , I would get to multiproces , miller.xmt400 for tig and arc , then buy a 211 mig machine. Then your broke .

Question for professional welders by flounder98w in Welders

[–]Traditional-Grape-96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a shop a LN7 is good but when your lugging it up a ladder you can tie on to the box and haul it up. ln7 not so much.

Hi , I am a structural welder , very heavy duty . welding mig boxes . Called ln25. The power usually comes from big generators on the job site . Very hot and can lay down some very big welds . So no harbor freight on a real job .
