Hi
I'm a stained glass artist and want to make some wrought iron frames/stands for some of my designs. In the near future I would also like to be able to learn more about welding and be able to make gates, railings etc.
I've spoken to a couple of welding suppliers in the area and between them they have suggested:
Murex Tradesmake 180
Murex 180A
Murex 210
ESAB 200A
ESAB 250A
Butters 181A
Butters 211
Miller 271A
Oerlikon: Citoline 2000M
Oerlikon: Citoline 2500M
Two retailers suggested the Citoline and bummed it up quite a bit. Although, as I haven't yet got a clue what I'm talking about I was unsure if they wanted to sell me something that was beyond what i needed.
Can I ask for feedback on what you think I should go with as I am really keen to learn. I want to buy the right machine that does what I need it without me being ripped off.
Thanks in advance
