I've done enough damage with my new grinder, time to move onto something less destructive.
My timescale isn't set at the moment, but my next acquisition will be a MIG welder, only I now have to decide on what one.
Initially going to be welding crusty BMWs, afterwards, more rusty cars
Single phase, 13A supply.
Operated by a novice (me).
On a budget.
Reading around, and Clarke seem to be the name for affordable reliability. Whilst I like the idea of the Pro90 both for cost and it's low current settings, I'm not sure about it shutting down when it gets hot (though retrofitting a fan sounds like a good idea).
A mate of mine suggests the 90 may not be man enough, though, and recommends something a little bigger (he uses a sip130)
Is the low current of the pro 90 worth not having the extra juice? How often would your typical car-welder need to use more than just a trickle -given that most modern cars are rarely made of anything thicker than 1mm steel?
Any guidance or suggestions welcome..
