FAQs

What is a MIG welder?

A MIG welder uses a wire electrode and shielding gas to join metals easily.

Are MIG welders beginner-friendly?

Yes, MIG welders are great for beginners because they’re simple to set up and use.

Should I choose gas or flux-core?

Gas-shielded MIG welders provide cleaner welds but need a gas tank. Flux-core welders don’t require gas and work better outdoors.

What voltage do I need?

For most home projects, 110-120V machines are sufficient and easy to plug in.

What is duty cycle?

Duty cycle tells you how long you can weld before the machine needs to cool down.

Can I weld different metals with a MIG welder?

MIG welders work best on steel and stainless steel; aluminum requires special wire and settings.
