Any welders here?

Issue is I might be doing thicker steel
which mig cannot do.

•Say what? Strangely enough...I’ve mig
welded steel up to 1” thick; all it takes is:
-select the correct wire thickness/type,
wire feed speed, etc. Eazy Peazy.

Mig also gets expensive

•True.
-Most welding/welding consumables aren’t cheap.
-That’s where the job-pricing process comes into play.

Personally might be better to just
get a thunderbolt first

Again I’ll suggest to get the aforementioned
MILLER MULTIMATIC 220
AC/DC Multi-Process Welder

It has dual voltage (110/120 & 220/240); can
weld: stick, MIG, AC/DC TIG; it has pulse function,
HF TIG start; and a wire feed speed range of 600 IPM.

IMO:
No need to keep buying other machines/upgrades.
Get all you need at one time—in one unit.

The exact reason I went with multi process for my welder. I rarely weld thick metal but I like having the stick option cause I dont need a gas bottle and I can pick up rods at Lowes if I absolutely need to weld something right now.
