Old age and its accompanied aches, pains, failing eyesight etc etc. are sadly catching up despite my belief that I’m still in my early thirties and sometimes barely 18.
As a result I’ve sold off the gas gear and ditched the aged (and crap) arc welder thinking, “I’m not really needing these anyway”. Well, and this’ll shock all you Defender owners, I bloody well do need one after all, not only for the ‘fender but for my mate’s “racing” Vitesse. I say racing but “pit lane hugger” might be closer to the mark.
Aaanyway, to the point, I’m looking to go all modern and get a wee cheap MiG welder.
Thinking probably max 150amp (house leccy won’t take any more, and should be enough anyway) and probably 30 to 40 bottom end for bodywork.
Not wanting a piece of crap inverter or far eastern cheapo model, well, maybe the cheap part, so wonder if anyone can give me some options to consider.
Thanks all.
