I have tiny little stainless welding jobs at all of my restaurants that I always have to do. Most mobile welding places will charge a $150 fee just to come out and then an hourly rate on top of that. Its never mroe than a 1-minute job but they all charge an automatic hour for the first hour and then split in half hours from there. Their hourly rates are in the $85/hr range, which means it would cost $235 for a 1-minute welding job that I can easily do.
So I've been lugging my 220 Lincoln around with the tank and plumbing and its just annoying as hell dealing with all that for a tiny little 1-minute job all the time. So I'm thinking of getting a small cheap little 110 unit that is pure flux core that is easier to haul around when I need it.
Was looking at this model:

Anyone have any experience with it? It doesn't need to be a power house. We're talking thin gauge material, 1/8" at the max.
