Dont know which welder to choose!

[Fulley]

Im looking at buying my first welder. I am new to welding and only know the basics from what I've read in the tutorials in here.

I wont be doing too much welding but when I do I want it to look as good as possible. Will be using it to weld exhausts, roll cage and aluminium tube.

Im not looking at spening much more than £300

I've been looking at this http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=27452

Dont know if its any good or not. Maybe someone could suggets something suitable.

Cheers

Stu

Red Sealeys are good as far as I know, but i've not tried one. Clarkes are a good bet in that budget range. Something that does 150 amps (like the 160TM) would suit.

Not for aluminium though - it's a real pain to weld aluminium with MIG, but a TIG that can do the job will be a lot more and wouldn't be so easy to use for the roll cages.
