Mike Festiva’s channel was a great resource.At the end of my project, if I decide to continue welding, I would like to invest in a nice flux/MIG welder.

It does produce a little bit of slag, which just means you learn to use your grinder more, but I am extremely happy with this little welder. It will do all the welds needed for my trailer build and was pretty inexpensive. This welder is small and easy to store in my garage. I went with a Titanium 125 flux core welder. If I decided weld is not my thing, I want to feel good about not sinking a lot of money into it. While I firmly believe you get what you pay for, I didn’t want to invest a lot of money into my first welder. I also didn’t want to deal with mixing gas, while it doesn’t seem hard, it was an added expense. Most of the steel I was going to use would be no thinker that 1/4 of an inch. You can weld 1/4 inch steel with beveling and multiple pass techniques.

I used the 20 off ITC coupon this weekend and got the Titanium 125, plus the 35 helmet coupon. It produces the best penetration and strength out of all the mig processes. Now you can weld 18 gauge sheet metal up to 3/16 inch with a single pass. It's called dual shield welding and the Flux doesn't actually do the shielding, it just adds to the strength of the weld. This welder is capable of welding with 0.030 inch self- shielding flux-core wire. I wanted to learn to weld, so I could start building my Overland trailer. The welder consists of a single-phase power transformer, and a unique built-in control/feeder. Adding tail light housing to my trailer build. View the welding flux 125 welder offer from the Harbor Freight Tools weekly ad. My oldest son borrowed my Hobart Handler 135 several years ago, and my other Migs are 230V. Grabbed one of the Titanium Easy Flux 125s yesterday, local store had 9 in stock. At the end of this blog, I will post some of the resources I used to learn about welding. Re: Harbor Freight Titanium Easy Flux 125. In about a month I started to narrow down what I needed. The first question I get asked is, what type of welder am I using? So here is why I decided to go with a flux core Titanium 125 welder.Īs a beginner welder, I didn’t know the first thing about flux core, MIG, arc welding, stick welding, gas types, safety equipment, NOTHING! I did what any good internet user does, and start researching.
