Hi Gents,
New to the forum and am considering a Clarke 151EN turbo after looking at a few.
Can I ask what would be the best option to go for, for a complete newbie to welding with a MIG (well last time I welded was 15 years ago on arc), should I run it with gas CO2 or flux core.
Mostly I will be using it to make small steel frame rc car chassis from square 3/16'' and some thinner 1 to 1.5mm sheet mild steel. I saw the min amps this welder does is 30Amp.
Does anyone have any experience as worried about blow through on the thinner stuff at low amps. Or would something like the Clarke Pro90 be better suited as saw its 25Amps min?
Im kind of leaning towards using gas as have read it can be abit easier for smaller parts and less splatter? I saw the small bottles are pretty pricey and dont last long, would converting the regulator so I can use industrial size CO2 bottles be better or where to get the conversion part?
Cheers.
