Do you think a small 110v wire feed welder would be safe for him to learn on?
The real issue I am concerned with is the fumes created when he welds. I understand the need for good ventilation, proper safety equipment, fire hazards, etc. Don't misconstrue that as thinking I know all the "ground rules" of welding. I don't, all advice is welcome.
I appreciate the advice in advance.
Rudy,
I WELD DAILY!!!
Heres the Machine you WANT.
LINCOLN SP125+ Or SP135+
Either of these 110V Machines wil Weld with my Large machines,and they are VERY User Freindly!
Should be able to find a Used 1 set -up for Argon in the 4-450 Range.
Then another 1-150.00 for a Good Auto Darkening Helmet.U
You will Need a Argon 75/25 Mix Bottle,either Lease or Purchase?
Hope this Helps?
Later
