Can anyone give me any info on the Lincoln arc welder? It's the AC-225. It has only been used 3 times. How much do they usually go for? Would it be good enough to weld exhaust and other car stuff? Any info is appreciated.

arc welders are not good because they dont weld clean at all. I would highly reccoment anything under a regular 220 mig. welder. 220 mig with gas is even better.

Contact Sir Mullet Welderboy who posts on here. He is an expert welder. He is also as a sales rep for Lincoln.

both the mig welder and arc welder will make a mess of a exhaust system if you dont no how to use either or you will make alot of holes with them i would learn how to weld be fore purchasing . take my advice from certified welder or if you do buy it practice a whole lot , but dont buy the arc welder not really recommended for exhaust systems ,gas torch with filler rod or mig welder are the best

Former exhaust welder here....Go with Mig. It's easy to control. Arc won't work well with exhaust, you will end up with a bunch of holes, lots of splatter, and a huge mess. Gas welding will work but not recommended for a beginner. We usually use gas welder for hard to reach spots or filling holes.

The best deal is to get a mig welder from home depot or Lowes.
