If that's all you know at this point, stop. You will waste money until you actually weld and know what you want. Why do I say that? Well, so far I've bought two and I could sell both in a heartbeat if I had the money to buy the right equipment. Don;t have shi!t load of amps in your garage? Buy a gas powered one. the time you spend with the torch running is minuscule compared to fabrication, set up and post welding activities.

I go to welding school; I'm in my 2nd semester. I went to welding school 30 years ago, too. I've been hitting and missing ever since. You can't teach yourself to weld....properly and totally safely. I don't care what others may say.
