Hi, I'm new to this forum and also to welding completely. I'm looking to buy a mig welder to use for making things as a hobby. I almost brought a SIP Migmate 130 until I read this forum and saw that it's quite a terrible machine.
If anyone could give me some advice from their experience on what a good mig welder would be, ideally gassless or dual purpose as I've read the just gas can be a waste of time.
I need something that would suit my experience level of 0, something that would be great to get me started and not breakdown too frequently.
Ideally I'd buy one used or new if the price is reasonable. I'm looking at spending about £150, no more than £200 and I won't be using it every day.
All advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
