RE: Welders

[v8magic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I've seen some good advice on this subject here today. If I may add my 
two cents, I would really recommend getting a welder that has a power 
control that does NOT have click steps, but rather the ability to be 
fine tuned in very small movements. Quite often the sweet spot falls 
between two click stop positions and you will wish for better control.
