Hi
Rather than just buy something I thought I would join and ask her so hi everyone. I have the above welder. Ive had a couple years and have welded cars and gates. I use argon/co2 mix and all the welds have been crap if im honest. They have held and I have gotten by but im sick of it now.
Its had a new feed mechanism pretty much from new as it never fed properly and a can not get a decent fizz from it whilst welding no matter how its set. The material is always prepped well and when I use a decent mig at the bodyshop its all good. At times you can see the wire glow up and it doesnt break to feed the next bit. I am no welder but I have tig welded at work and used a decent mig which is worlds away from this one but is probably £1500 worth. I want to get shot of this one and buy a new one. One that I can weld with that will leave my lack of skill to screw the quality of the weld up rather than that with the added bonus of an inconsistent welder. ha
Happy to spend £300 maybe £400 but I wont use it enough to warrant any more really. What do you guys recommend please.
thanks
