depends on what you are planning to weld. heliarc is good for some metals, Gas is good for some. Heliarc is hotter and takes special gear to keep from getting burned. If you don't know what you need, I would suggest you take a class at your local trades school so you learn to do it right and most of all, safely.

Hi. It really is a question of how much you want to spend and making the effort to learn how to do welding that is not 'structural' but hold up to 'impacts'? If you are seriously wanting to weld that thick a metal go take a welding class and find out just the basics of what you are trying to do. It will be money well spent. You will not buy the wrong welder and you will be able to enjoy your new found skill with good welding technique.

The least expensive and semi-easy to use is an ARC welder. They usually require 60 - 100 amps so make sure you have the electrical service to handle it.

Depends on the kind of welding you will be doing and what thickness material you will be using.
