Mig Welder Advice.

Post by The Bird Man » Sun Aug 03, 2014 2:43 pm

Alright chaps, after some advice on welders. I was using a little crappy arc welder to make a new engine mount for my 1.6 conversion, did a dam good job up untill now but it decided to keal over on me leaving me not being able to finish the job, I was planning on getting a new one at some point anyway. Now, I have no knowledge on welders or what to look for so hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I want to be able to weld body work but when needed to be able to make up bumpers ect.. Thicker metal basically, is there something that is that versitle ? Also what is better gas or gasless and why ? Many thanks, Eddie :D

First of all, im not a welding expert but my money went to a Kemppi MinarcMig 200, thats a machine which is quite versatile, though its definetly not the cheapest.
I've been using Co2 and 0.6mm for thin plate and 0.8 for thicker plate.
Snow is usually white and cold
