Would have already been asked hundreds of times no doubt, and I promise I've gone thru lots of previous posts to gain some intel !
Anyway I'm looking to get set up with a modest price low amps mig set, my sole use for this will be thin car panels ( rusty Morris minor !)
I have done quite a lot of general somewhat more heavy duty welding in the past, I regularly use a fronius inverter for assorted repair /fab. jobs, and have done a fair bit of Oxy A in the more distant past. I've only ever tried mig on odd occasions very briefly.
Anyway I'm thinking something like the Clarke 90 type thing would be the way ahead, purely as it aparrently goes down to 25a, the other machines that appear nice on face value are the GYS smartmigs which have a nicer torch it seems but not sure if they go lower than 30a.
I realise I'd need to sort a proper gas bottle and reg set up etc
(I wouldn't be doing the tiny disposable halfords canisters thing!)
i guess I'd be mainly working on 0.8 to 1mm steel and wouldn't need to go any thicker than circa 2mm with whatever mig set I get, as I can use the arc set from then on upwards, and I don't need a multi process machine for the same reasons.
I'd value any opinions from you guys, many thanks..
