Apologies for the basic level of these questions, I am hoping someone would save me some time and answer them from their experience.
1) I am considering buying a Clarke 160TE (recommendation from elsewhere on this forum) - apart from machine mart where else can I buy this welder?
2) The welder is meant to be able to weld up to 6mm(?) can I expect to weld to this sort of thickness?
3) I have some bits of steel and aluminium that I intend to practice on, some of these are galvanised or painted etc. I realise I need to clean the surfaces to be welded (i.e. no paint) but what about the galvanising - can this material be welded?
Thanks to anyone who helps, any comments would be welcome.
