Hi everybody, i am new to the forum and i am glad i found it, i have not welded for 20 years but i am looking to get back into it for a business i am setting up.
I was originally trained using industrial Mig welders, you know the score , 12 hours a day, pressure vessles, shipping containers . worked for a few years then as a fabricator .
I work now as a builder and i getting so many people asking me to repair old gates, make steel fencing/gates etc that i thought about buying my self a mig.
I need something reliable but more importantly it needs to be portable because a lot of jobs will require me welding at the customers house.
With that said i will need something that works with gas (for my workshop) and gasless when i work in a customers garden (wind)
Compared to what i used to do when i was a welder i doubt this machine will be working more than a couple of hours a day but i need something thats going to last thats not to expensive on parts.
I have seen a Jasic 160 for a good price in my area but i wonder if the 160 is suitable for what i need (power)
any help would be great because mig welders seem to have come a long way since the last time i did it.
thanks
rob
