Hi guys, and girls if there are any, my name is Derek, I'm almost 57, i live in the NW corner of spain just north of the border with portugal. I've been registered as living here for just over 25 years but having said that most of the time i was away at sea. Originally i'm from Newcastle, the geordie one. I'm retired for the last 2 years due to incapacity although i could retire officially as the age is 55 for ex seamen here.
I have 2 hobby welders, a Telwin bimax135 mig (105amp)and a Cebix kx-100 mma inverter(90amp) until recently they did the jobs i needed to do round the house and garage. I mostly used galvanised stock(saves on painting) but discovered its much easier and safer with untreated steel.
I recently bought an old tractor that i have restored and need a bigger welder to built and fix some implements, what i have will hardly cut the jobs in hand.
I'm not a welder but can stick metal with the multipass/multi attempt and grinder. I have both single phase and 3 phase electricity but don't think i do enough welding to get a 3phase setup and it needs to be portable too.
cheers
Derek
