Re: Need Help Searching for a welding machine?
Hello and welcome to the forum. Have you tried looking at Google for welding supplies? Plasma cutters are usually separate from welders, I've never seen an all in one unit. I know Harbor Freight has inexpensive units but I've been warned against buying them. Good luck.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Yeah I don't know if I would want a welder from Harbor Freights. I have bought lots of stuff from them, such as 1/2" drills, dremels, and impact guns. Simple stuff like that are fine and you cannot beat the prices! Their hand tools are pretty crappy though. Some stuff like allen head sockets I only buy Snap On.Johnj wrote:I know Harbor Freight has inexpensive units but I've been warned against buying them. Good luck.

Thanks a lot but i have decided to go with a company by the name of longevity which was very reasonable with me on my purchase on my welder/plasma cutter all in one unit, they also have a 5 year warranty which is the best in the business so i am attaching a link for you to view my unit so be sure to let me know what you think about it
