hello my first post so my apologies if this has been asked already or if I’m in the wrong area.
I currently have a Snap-on 130 turbo mig which has about had it and looking to upgrade to a Clarke 205TE but have a few questions before I make the purchase, now on their website it says it comes with torch earth cable and regulator, but no mention of what type of regulator I’m assuming it’s suitable for argon/co2 refillable bottles, also it says will take 0.6 and 0.8 wire but not what the machine is set up for I don’t want to buy 0.8 if it’s set up for 0.6 so I’ve then got to buy new tips and liner, finally it says it needs hard wiring but I’ve seen some people that say you can still run a 13amp plug aslong as your not using it full power all the time which I’m mainly using it for car panels so won’t be max all the time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated many thanks in advance
