Select a Welder & Roll Cage Material
Back to the question of selecting a welder. MIG is the way to go for versatility and ease of use for a beginner. Both Lincoln, Miller, and Hobart offer great little machines that operate on 120 volt so you won't need to run any new power to your shop. These will have enough power to weld your roll cage with no problem.
-Hobart Handler 125
-Miller 140
-Lincoln V160
Speaking of the cage here are a few tips:
-purchase DOM tubing, standard tubing will tear at the seam in a crash.
-.088 tubing x 1 3/4 dia is adequate for most applications / .125 x 2" is the max you need for some sanctioning bodies.
-fit is key, buy an inexpensive notcher or notch the tubing with a grinder.
