Stitch welder

Post by Kraig »

I was wondering if anyone here has tried one of those stitch welders? How did it work? I realize MIG is probably the hot setup...but I don't want to spend more for the welder than I paid for the truck :$$: I have oxyacetylene but I fear major panel warpage will result and I am not sure I want to learn hammer welding at this point in time. Thanks for any info.

That may be true...but at least I've got the choice of either a MIG or a stick welder! :D
