Bidding on an electric pocket welder to practise on and to do small repairs to disco, it doesn't come with a regulator though, is this needed for it to work?

cheers
 
Good make Cebora, had a couple of them in the past. Basically you have a spool of wire fed through the gun which melts the steel being welded. The arc is made by connecting the earth clamp to the job. If it is a gas mig, you will need a bottle of inert gas which will need a regulator fitted to the bottle and a small hose will take it through the gun and the gas protects the area round the weld. If it is a turbo mig/gasless then it wont need a gas bottle. The welding wire is different for a gasless mig though, it has a flux in it.
 
Reg from somewhere like Thomas graham same for gas but they only do little bottles. For big ones you need a mate with a pub, fab shop or get a boc account

Could have bought mine with a reg already on it ;)
 
Regulator is about 15 for small 25 for big iirc bottle is £50 to buy from boc and then you have to pay something stupid better finding a mate with pub or buy small bottles if only welding little bits
