Hi all,
Been looking at buying a MIG welder for some time and the time is finally here I'm a complete novice, never used a welder before in my life but am always doing DIY on my house and car. There's been plenty of times where a welder would have been perfect for a job but I suppose I've always been a bit wary of using one but hopefully with the aid of this site and members I'll be able to give it a go
I'm looking at buying something I can practise with and will be able to handle various jobs around the house and on the car. I've got £200 to spend and I was looking at buying an SIP Migamte Turbo 130 but after reading quite a few threads about poor wire feed, that's probably not a good move From reading various posts, for the money I can spend the Clarke 135TE might be the model to go for but I've got a couple of questions.
1. Is there any point in spending the extra money ang getting the next model up (151TE) http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/range/details/hobby-mig-welders/path/diy-mig-welders
2. What's the difference between the blue and red range of Clarke compressors? (150TE and 151TE)
3. Does the Clarke welder use a Eurotorch?
Thanks in advance,
Vijay
