man, if you wanted to get into it cheaply to see if you want to try it or just to get profeciant without a big ass wad of cash...... Super wal-marts carry 2 Cambell- Hausfield welders. one is small and gasless, the other is a bit larger and is set up for using with gas. of course the bottle and gauge are seperate... the small one is just under 200, the larger one, which i thing you could do most metal work jobs with 1/4 is 279.00 it comes with a mask and a wire brush/ hammer combo.
if you are wanting to learn and do simple plating. i would try it out, if you didnt want to spend 700 bucks on a millermatic or lincoln welder your first time out...just to see if you can do it..
