Browsing social media; I've come across both a 230TE and 300TE arc welders for sale for what seems reasonable money, £70 and £150 respectfully.
I've never used an arc welder besides my Chinese made pile of junk which broke almost straight away; how do these compare to the cheapo ones sold on Ebay? I'm pleased with my Clarke MIG, can I expect a similarly decent experience from one of these machines?
Could do to weld some 12mm mild steel in the new year, was going to see if I could use a school machine, but if either of these would do the job - and Miller's settings tool suggests they would, it'll save me some hassle.
