Bimson 200Amp Inverter welder

[Martin45]

Hi,
I'm looking at buying a welder and have been trawling through posts on the forum. I did a beginners course in welding around 18 months ago but medical issues have had me out of action until recently.
I have an old lidl multifunction one but the stick welding is quite poor on it. This was tested out on the course by the instructor with fresh rods so it wasn't just my inability to weld properly.
I want to build a welding table, trolley, shelving units, alterations to a car trailer and an assortment of other small jobs. I am in the process of organising gas bottle rental etc. I have most of the other basic equiptment.

I have seen the Bimson 200 amp machine mentioned and I see a few people have it or the 160 amp version and would be grateful for their thoughts about the machine .
I realise that its not going to be as good as a premium brand and I want to try mig and gasless out for a couple of years and upgrade to a better machine at that stage if I still have the interest (and cash!)

That's a 2 process welder not a 3 process welder (3 process is just advertising hype), Mig (metal inert gas) or Mag (metal active gas) basically it's your choice of the gas you use CO/Argon or Carbon Dioxide Gas, the welding process is the same, there are differences in weld profile/penetration and costs, but minor to a beginner. MMA (Manual Metal Arc) Stick welding.....

There's no mention of Tig even scratch start...
