Everlastgenerators.com has various types of MIG Welders for sale. Everlastgenerators.com provides high quality welding and our MIG welders are no exception. MIG welding machines can be confusing to newbie welders but our discussion on what to look for in a MIG welder, and our complete round up of all mig welding machines currently available will demystify everything for you.

Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Welding is one of the easiest welding processes to learn. The purpose of all welders is to join similar types of metal together by melting them at a high temperature and adding filler into the molten puddle of metal for extra strength. MIG welders have the capacity of welding not only carbon-based steels but aluminum as well. MIG welders can be identified by the spool attachment that contains the wire used as the filler in the welding process. MIG welders range in size from large industrial machines that require three phase electricity to the home “buzz box” that can be plugged into any wall outlet.

How to select the right type of MIG Welding:
If you want to select the right type of MIG welder, you should know what type of input power is available:

• 1 Phase input power (typically 115 or 230 VAC) is found in homes and garages
• 3-Phase input power is common in industries.
• 1 phase input power is typically used in Garages, Body Shops, Farm, Ranch, Repair and light fabrication. Find the right MIG Welder for your home or single-phase shop.
• 1 & 3 phase is typically used for fabrication and light manufacturing.  When you require flexibility go in for MIG machine that will perform in both single and three phase shops.
• 3 Phase input power is used for Manufacturing and fabrication process.

• • The continuously fed electrode of mig welding makes it much faster compared to other welding process such as TIG or Stick.
• • Since flux is not used, mig welding produces a smooth, clean, spatter free and high quality welds. This reduces the total welding cost since no further cleaning is required.
• • The welding process can be either semi automatic or fully automatic.
• • With mig welding, it is easier to weld both thicker and thinner materials effectively which proves its versatility.
• • It has higher disposition rates than shielded metal arc welding (SMAW).
• • Distortion is reduced considerably in mig welding since it involves high arc travel speeds.
