I got back from the Detroit Maker faire. It was worth going to. Got a lot of info and ideas. Saw one person with a Mars electric motorcycle. Nicely built. What really interested me was the homemade recumbant. I was impressed with the chrome-moly frame and asked question on welding. I was particuly interested when he said it could be done with a 110 tig welder. So I went onliine and found this. http://cgi.ebay.com/Rand-TIG-Stick-Welder-100-amp-120V-Arc-MMA-110V-110-120-/390330923027?pt=BI_Welders&hash=item5ae1893813. A custom ebike frame might be in my hands sooner than I thought or at least a lot of pipe projects.
Has anyone used such a welder. The fact that chome-moly tubes are rather thin. Needing a 220V tig welder might not be necessary. My garage is not setup for 220 and would be rather costly to have wired. If this is all that is needed. It really would make frame building a possibility. Cost is really cheap as well. I would have to get it setup with gas but that is easy to do. Any welders out there can confirm this as a good path or do I need the 220V route?
