I've used my Oxford MigMaker 180-1 with E71-TGS flux core wire & polarity reversed & no shroud to get into awkward places on my old Convoy van.
It does help with no shroud for sure.
Getting the setting right and a decent weld is for me always hard - esp as you're shifting position and angle, stick-out etc etc alm the time as well as upside-down & vertical, horizontal etc.
My welds are fugly at the best of times, but a finger grinder becomes my best mate here!

Its a 110v machine…if my memory serves me correctly your 240 in portugal. Doesn't look mig either
They are fairly cheap - used to be only $40 - but they are not new. Try searching for "ZX7-200" on this Forum, you will find lots of entries.

Review - Cheap eBay 200amp single phase inverter MMA
(very) Occasionally I will do a little MMA welding on a job that comes in. Often these jobs are too big for me to get through the workshop doors or it is easier to just not unload them from the trailer they were delivered on, etc. For the past four years I have used my dual voltage 110/240 volt...
