Hi;
Never welded before and looking at setting myself up as a hobby welder.
Settled on a Clarke 130EN Gas/Gassless Welder but need to make sure Iv'e got all that I need.
I have drawn up a list of items that I need which is below but what about some of the smaller things like tips? I watched a mate of mine welding and he made contact with the tip and blew a hole in the car that he was welding and blew the tip, this happened a couple of times. Problem is I cannot find them listed anywhere?
I have also read about Anti Splatter Spray what is it and do I need it?
I wouldn't want to start welding and have to stop for the want of something small.
My list so far:
1. Clarke 130EN Welder - (If I get it from Weldequip it comes with Wire)
2. Welding Mask / Helmet (Siflite Helmet £45.99) Here
Or Check This Baby Out
3. Gauntlets - Here
4. Respirator - Here
5. CO2 Regulator - Here
6. Set of Clamps - Here
7. Spare Tips ?
Anything else I'd need
