Hello all & thank you for letting me join your forum.
I have a Clarke 130TE Mig which has been knocking about in the shed for quite a few years now. It only comes out for the odd pigeon poo welding job. Yes all down to my lack of skill or need to learn at the time.
But now I'm looking to starting a new project & Its time for me to up my game with my welding skill leave. My old Clarkes Mig needs a few quid spending on it to get it up & running properly. But to be honest I've got fed up messing about. I can get it to run ok some of the time but I've got fed up with all the faffing about as it keeps throwing off trying to improve my practice welling.
After spending sometime reading up online & on here I know I could get it running better but I've decided to bite the bullet & join the queue for a Portamig 216s. I was going to get the 186's but like a few people have said go the next size up which will give me more power than I need for now but its better than wishing I had it in a years time.
I know there's a bit of a wait as its got to be built but from what I have read it's going to be worth it.
Cheers.
