Best welding cart I researched the best welding cart for the past few days because I need one to organize my welding setup better. i read reviews and recommendations on newyork times, consumer reports and popular mechanics and they are mentioning these two as the best options Hot Max WC100 Welding Cart Yaheetech 3-Tier Welding Cart however i am having trouble to decide which one would best suit my needs. I mostly work in my garage with a MIG welder, a small plasma cutter and cylinders and I want something that’s stable, easy to move around, and durable enough for frequent use. If anyone here has experience with either of these carts or even better options i would really appreciate your advice. What would you recommend for someone looking for a reliable welding cart setup? Thanks in advance

Welding Stainless Steel: Expert MIG, TIG & Stick Tips I researched on how to weld stainless steel as i am welding stainless steel for a project and could use some advice from the pros here. i welded mild steel before with my MIG setup (using 75/25 argon/CO2 and ER70S-6 wire) but stainless seems like a whole different beast. i am also working with 304 stainless about 2mm thick for a small fabrication job, think brackets and a frame for a custom outdoor grill. According to my research and experts’ opinions, tig seems to be the go-to for clean welds on stainless but i also saw folks mention mig and even stick welding. Here’s where i am at: MIG Welding: Can I use my existing MIG welder for stainless? According to the experts i need stainless wire (like 308L or 309L) and a tri-mix gas (helium/argon/CO2) instead of my usual 75/25 mix. Is that true or can I get away with C25 for non-critical welds? What settings should i tweak for stainless? TIG Welding: i am tempted to try TIG for better control but I don’t have a TIG welder yet. Is it worth investing in one for this? What kind of filler rods and gas (pure argon?) should i look for? Also, any tips on avoiding warping since stainless seems prone to it? Stick Welding: i got an old stick welder lying around. can i make it work with stainless rods (like 308L)? or is this a bad idea for thin material? General Tips: What’s the deal with “sugaring” and how do I prevent it? Also, i saw a video that the stainless can rust at the weld if not done right, how do I avoid that? Any prep or cleanup tricks to make the welds look shiny and professional? i am not aiming for food-grade perfection here just strong, decent-looking welds that do not fall apart or rust too quickly. experts here got experience welding stainless to mild steel (for some parts of the frame), I’d love to hear about that too, do I need special rods like 309L? Would appreciate any stainless steel welding tips, recommendations or even machine suggestions if I need to upgrade thnaks in advance for the help
