as its my job at work fixing and welding cranes
ive got several arc welders from small inverta up to a old 3 phaze monster that will happly weld 50mm plate all day

a couple of full size 3 phaze migs that weld from 0.5mm to around 35mm ,can also heat and weld , can do ally if i have to but dont like the smell:doh:

fabricating and welding isnt a problem as its my job
its just that ime new to landy's and what can and cant be done ,
so am on a steap learning curve , and cant see the point spending hundreds of pounds on somthing i can make
P.S HAVE HAD LOADS OF DECENT ADVICE SINCE JOINING THE SITE

As you can see, not enough! They've got to be cut off an re-welded with my new Lincoln. Was using a small clarke with bad issues with the contactor and wire feeder.

I so miss having 3 phase. Have a lovely Kempi mig but don't have nothing to plug it into to
