Hi
This is just that same old question, which MIG welder should I buy....
I am new to welding, and am building my first Bobber motorbike. I have avoided welding as much as I can, as it is an area of which I have no knowledge (until I found this site, now I am in melt down ).
So.... I am not looking at doing any frame work, as I am lead to believe this has to be approved / certified in some way, what I am looking to do is bodywork,panels, fender supports,etc what I would consider thin metal work.
I have checked out the deals on the Wolf MIG's and most of the feedback is bad, so I am looking at Sealey / Clarke and SIP. The area I am stuck with is the amperage . Now, considering I need a welder that can deal with thin sheet, do I get a low Amp Clarke 90, or pay out for a 130 model which can have the power adjusted. This is my issue, and would value any input.
Thank you all in advance.
PS.
Budget....hmmmmmmm, the more it cost, the less chrome I can buy and the more metal polishing I have to do...
