I gave PrimeWeld a try about 6 months ago and I love my machine! I really think it’s probably the best machine for the money out there and I’m about to buy another machine from them, the Mig230, it’s a 4 in 1 multiprocess machine with a nice big touchscreen, I highly recommend PrimeWeld too!!

Its a great starter machine and i use it still as my primary machine when doing fab work for customers. I also have some welding tutorials on the channel.If you want to check them out. And On behalf of the "buddy"(s) who usually gets asked for stuff , thank you😂

My brother got one of these with flux core wire. I borrowed it to fix 6 metal folding chairs which had broken supports. This was especially impressive as the metal on these chairs is paper thin. I think I only burned through once, and even then I was able to tap weld and fill in that hole fairly easily. These chairs with cushions cost about $45 in Walmart. So I saved almost 300 with this one repair job, that took maybe 30 minutes. Next time I have a project I'll just buy this welder as it will nearly pay for itself by then.
