hello i am looking to buy a welder, of which type i really have no idea!
i am a mobile farrier with very limited welding knowledge. i weld mild steel horse shoes together, weld steel to horseshoes to make extentions, create shoes with welded supports e,t,c.
at the moment i use a really large, heavy, ancient arc welder. which i just find difficult to get the settings right. so yep my welds do a job but look awful and are very dodgey!!
apart from the small amount of welding i do for my work, i also want to be able to use a welder for those other small diy job that crop up.
as i am mobile with my work the welder really needs to be portable, small and reasonably light as i carry it in my van!
i really have no idea about arc, mig ,tig ,e,t,c.
also what is an inverter welder as these seem small and mobile!!
thankyou for your time and suggestions!!
