Hi all
I'm new on here and this is my first post. I am not a professional welder but not a novice either.
I have never owned a MIG welder up to now but have used them a bit in the past.
I would describe myself as a fitter, mechanic.
Now I have the opportunity to purchase a pre loved Lincoln Electric Compact 220 and would like some information from anyone who has some experience of them or an opinion of this machine.
I will go to look at it tomorrow evening (11/12/17) but beyond physical appearance Is there anything I should look out for, do they have a good reputation? is it suitable for light material such as car body repairs?
The asking price is 500 euro (although I don't intend paying that much for it) so not an unsubstantial outlay.
Any info appreciated and well done on a great site.
