I have never done it and will be looking for some classes in town, but for a beginner what would be a good (not Minimax Caliper) set-up to begin with? I realize there is that same old questions of what you wanna do with it? I invision working with the lighter to mid-gauge steel, a little heavier then what you buy at HD. I would like to be able to weld up things for the shop, incorporate into some furniture (in the past I have sub out that portion) like bases and what not. I would like to keep at 110v as I do not have 220 in the garage and no space left to add in the panel anyways. What the difference between Tig and Mig? I assume I want to lean towards a wire feed system, also any good books or other resources online to look at? Thanks
