Im after buying a mig welder, i normally just use my dads work one, but its a big old 1 and its a pain to et to and from his factory, the gas bottle's 5-foot high!!

Any how, just want a small-ish one that can be tucked away in the garage, but not really sure what to get?

Any advice would be helpful, it will mainly be use for welding cars and thin metal?!

What amp's, votts sould i be looking for etc?!

Must be gas one tho!!

 

machine mart is your best bet , don't get the no gas migs tho, always use gas.

I use a clarke 150amp gas mig. good for up to about 4-5mm thick mild steel.
There about Ł200 from machinemart.

 

if its for cars anything from 100 to 150 amp is fine but def get which uses gas tho gasless ones are poo!!ebay or just google mig welders ul find summit for the right price

 

Yeah i want a gas one, been looking on ebay it seem's ther's some good buys on there, i've used machine mart before, have to ave a look at there's!

 

i got a turbo mig 150,

same as the grey ones they do down halfroads but a bit bigger,

been wicked so far, very easy to use and set up,
just dont leave the gas bottle connected

 

I have the same one, bought it in 1994 and it's still going strong now, used it to build the 100E with. deffo would get another the same if it finally packed up.

I got gas SIP 250A, and gasless.
Trouble with gasless is it is so fierce, best bet s/h migatronic.
