I-Mig 200: This is a good welder!!!

[performance]

A quality weld is a quality weld, no matter the process. That must be remembered. And whatever process one prefers does not make them a lesser welder because they use or like that process. Of course there are the pipe guys who might beat you up in a dark alley behind a bar for saying that to their face (a little stereotyping perhaps?).
Are some welds stronger? Yes, in some circumstances, but really what we deal with on a day to day basis for 90% of the welders out there, there isn't much difference as long as the welds are made correctly whatever process is used. Some are prettier, some are smoother, but appearance is not the best indicator of strength or durability of a weld.
In reality, whatever draws a person to welding, regardless of process, whether they are closet pyromaniacs, or find it a suitable way of life, a weld is a weld at the end of the day only if it holds.

when i first started welding (back when my uncle let me play with this cheapo wire feeder when i was about 15) never did it again till recently i got into off roading and wanting custom built stuff. people were wanting to charge me way to much to do simple stuff so i decided to learn.

i started out with stick first i had the hardest time in the world the first 2-3 months but got better and advanced starting with stick made mig easier than making a super thick PB sandwich.
this is the school im attending right now for a degree in welding
