Hi, some of you may have come across the thread i started for the restoration of my mk2 fiesta, well it is still on going... I have been saving up for parts, materials and the main thing- a decent welder for the tasks ahead!
I have done a fair bit of research and have a good idea of what welder will suit my needs and which to avoid, I just thought it would be a good idea to get some input from you guys who have been there and done it.
My budget is quite tight- i cant really streatch to more than £300 all in, including mask and consumables etc. I am buying this welder purly with this project in mind (and maybe future car projects) so I am after good quality at low amps and if all goes well and my needs change I will be happy to upgrade in a few years time.
I seem to be heading towards one of the clarke entry models:
PRO90 £200
100E £230
110E £240
135TE £260
My main question is if i spend the extra 60 quid on the 135TE over the pro90 but only ever use it at the lowest settings- around 30amps will i get better results than with the pro90 at a simmilar setting?
any thoughts on the above choice? feel free to throw in any other names
Cheers, Dan
