I'd suggest budgeting $2,000 for a decent welder, gas, and an angle grinder.


That's about right for budget. Can get a decent multi-process 120/240V welder for well under $1000. Good welding helmet, gloves, jacket, clamps, accessory items, grinders, etc will eat up $1000 pretty quickly. Get a few good angle grinders, I have Hitachi and Dewalt mostly, but at least get one good 5" high-performance rat tail style grinder. Cutting and grinding off scale is a real chore with a small barrel-style 4" grinder. I haven't gotten around to building or buying a good welding table, don't have the space for one either yet, but I made something that settles onto folding plastic sawhorses using the 2x4 notches.
