If they are seperate, you can use the generator for other things besides
welding... and you can run the welder off of other powersources...
If your mounting the setup on a truck, then I would go with a
Generator/Welder Combo...
I'd go with a seperate generator and welder, but it also depends on just how
big a welder you're wanting... You can do quite a lot with a good 110volt
welder...

> Dumb question about welders: I have been thinking about buying one, and
for the $$, it seems to me that a "welderator" [generator and welder in the
same unit]represents a good deal. I have seen them in the $200-2500 range,
but when you add a the cost of a welder and a generator togeather, it seems
like a deal - especially since you end up with 1 unit instead of 2.
Obviously I am missing a downside here [or there would be more of them out
there] but I don't know enough to know what I am missing. Note: the ability
to weld things in remote locations REALLY appeals to me - that' seems to be
where I would need it the most... So, Welding guru's, What do you think?
