can i use a wire feed/ MIG welder to weld together a homemade trailer......please help?
well, i came across a welder today that runs 230$. it is brand new and is a wire feed welder. i was wondering if the weld would be strong enough to hold together a homemade trailer. i will be making the trailer with angle iron as it is commonly used in most trailers. will this welder make the welds strong enough that the tralier wont fall apart. i will probably be making no bigger then a 2,000 lb capacity trailer. will this work. or do i need to get a bigger welder. i beleive it is 100 amps. i dont want to have to spend much more then 230$ if i dont have to though. the angle iron is 1/8 inch thick. also.....could you recommend some good welding sites that give free information on welding. if possible i want to buy an electric welder and not gas. but would prefer the 230$ if it will do the job. if it wont could you recommend the amount of amps i will need to weld it. thanks in advance
I would recommend that you do the learning first...and buy the welder last. The research you do into the various welding processes, will ultimately help you with your choice of machine.
100 amps is not a lot of heat in welding terms. And unless you are quite familiar with the rules of welding, you may produce unsatisfactory welds for a project as important as a trailer.
Go to the Miller and Licoln Electric websites. There is lots of great information there. Both have "learning" sections, with lots of information.
Consider if you will be able to use your welder for future projects or rapairs. If so, it may be worth your while to save up, and get a machine with higher amps, made by one of the big companies.
Learn all you can before you make your decision. Also, the book WELDER'S HANDBOOK by Richard Finch might be a good read for you. I think you can get them at Lowe's and Tractor supply, and I'm sure you can order it online. It's a great overview of welding.
Be safe. Learn all that you can. Then practice. THEN make a trailer. Welding for your own purposes is a lot of fun...and you might find all sorts of things to make once you get the hang of it.
