hello, New member but been a reader for a while.
I am rebuilding a car and will be modifying it moving forward. I am likely to need to weld repair panels - so mig, but also looking to weld bosses onto aluminium sumps and inlet tracts.
in addition I will be fabricating an exhaust section - not all of it , for these I would say tig.
looked at buying a mig and tig seperately ......but I keep coming back to multi process welders.
parweld 211 xtm di comes up well on urchfab and metalworks reviews - but it is pricey.......although not as much as esab mp200 nor Miller mp220.......but looking around the £1750 - £2200......which is more than I would ideally like to pay.
I would prefer the tug to be hf start, with a foot pedal - but would appreciate others opinions.
I then came across this machine, good price, defo built in China - but aren't most electronics - look at esab, respected brand engineered in s. carolina, but still assembled in China.
so I'm not against Chinese manufacture - but would appreciate other peoples opinions, as I've never heard of this brand:-
