just joined and need to learn everything! I used to arc weld and Oxy/Acetylene weld but never MIG. What's a good price for a new Clarke 175 TE Turbo MIG, and is it a good welder for a total learner?

Hi there, welcome to the forum, lots of good advice on here, …. Oh & a lot of p##s taking :laughing:

I’ve no idea what that welder would be worth as I have no knowledge of the States.

I've never known anyone to join a forum and welcome other people who joined before them before they even introduce themselves...... :whistle:

I can usually spot them fairly quickly so I tend to pop them on pre-mod until they either out themselves and get booted off, or they satisfy us that they are legit, which rarely happens.
In this case, the poster's first 3 posts were welcoming other members, even though they are new to the forum themselves. A proper red flag.
