Stick welding is also more difficult to learn and use, particularly the ability to strike and maintain an arc. Arc welders are available in AC, DC or AC/DC, with AC being the most economical. It's used for welding thicker metals of 1/16 inch or greater.

What is the best welder to use for a go kart?

Depends on a lot of things. Slickest work, but most expensive - TIG. Cheapest - arc (stick) welder. Reasonably user friendly and inexpensive - wire-feed arc/ MIG welder.) Most versatile - Oxyacetylene. Oxy will give have the biggest heat affected zone and is the hardest to use (IMO). If your kart is really thin wall tubing you can forget about the stick welder and even the MIG will be quite tricky.
