all are a lil tricky if you are a begginer a class is a great idea.
What price range should i go for when i shop for one ? currently i have about 300 to spend so im not sure if there are good ones for that price or is that cheap ?
like other member said 300 is just enough for a welding helmet a some gloves and maybe enough to enrol into a class.
What company welder do you prefer (keep in mind my budget, im sure the price varies depending on the name)
sometimes those name brand welders are a lil more expensive but work like a charm look for reviews on the machines.

Im thinking of taking a welding class but i would like to at least learn a bit before i take the class so im not completely lost and just fail.

Thanks for reading everyone and the advice !!!
hope this helps
