MiG recommendation

[PSweeney]

I currently have a PortsMig 185 which has been fantastic. I just don’t have space for a big transformer welder and full bottle anymore. I don’t do anywhere near the amount of welding I used to but I still need a Mig.

Can anybody recommend a small 180 amp minimum Inverter mig with a euro torch ? Budget of around 5-600 quid, emphasis on small units only

Jasic 200a mini, not sure on the price but they're a nice little unit. 5kg reels though, not sure if they'll use a 15kg. Does stick and tig too.

I can recommend this machine, probably the last mig you will buy!

Over £1k so out of my budget really

See what Techarc have, online shop and the UK's largest manufacturer of welding and cutting equipment. You have to remember though that now transformer welders have been outlawed by the bloody EU, that you can repair an old quality transformer mig indefinitely, but with a modern inverter mig, you replace whole boards, not cheap, although knowing Techarc, they will be doing board level repair for as long as it is possible! Good people, good quality machines! No connection, just a satisfied customer!!

No doubt they’re good machines, really smooth on thick material but never been able to get fast crisp tacks on sheet metal
