Welding Current Range 60-140A avoid it like the plague 60A is the highest low setting I've ever come across! Stick a little bit more on your budget and treat yourself to a Clarke 151TE, pm weldequip and ask him to price you up a package with everything you need to get you started.
As Wozzaaah says, 60amps is way too high if you want it for thin sheet (car body) welding... higher than most industrial fabrication sets!
Put another 40 quid towards something like a Clarke 160TE

My mig is a rebadged Kende machine. While it's not as terrible as it could be for the price, the first one I had self destructed after 3 weeks. Save yourself the frustration and avoid the things.
I'm not sure. When I went to start, it would go for maybe half a second, then cut out. The light on the power switch stayed on, but there wasn't enough current on the wire to arc and the wire feed wouldn't go at all. I just took it back and told them to replace it, so I never found out what was wrong with it. In general though, I think they're just badly made machines. The torch feels like it'll fall apart if you hold it too tight, the wire feed door doesn't stay closed and the wire feed motor has a horrible whine that makes it sound as if it's really struggling to feed the wire. For 500 NZD though, I shouldn't really complain. I got what I paid for.
All the Chinese hobby MIGs really are shabbily put together. I've had a few customers who have bought Wolf machines coming in for replacement gearbox gears... having stripped them within a few weeks of purchase, and after seeing the same people weeks previously & advising them against buying the things (for same said reasons)!
