I've seen bad welds made with top notch equipment.

If you use the machine properly and within it's designed limits you should be fine.

Use ANY machine improperly and you will have problems.
Use ANY machine outside it's designated limits and you will have problems.


I agree, you have to learn proper prep and welding technique (and saftey) that is why the class is recommended.
