first post here and being unorthodox and avoiding the "introduce yourself" section
I've had a couple of sttempts at welding using crappy sip machines with wonky wire feeds - and have failed massively. so decided to blame the tools and splash out on a new decent welder (probably a portamig 185) - so 2 questions to start with....
1. is the the best option in the price bracket for learning with, and probably doing a lot of general repairs to old VW's and Landrovers (body and chassis)?
2. could i use one with a 13a plug on before i finish off building my new workshop with dedicated 16a supply (2 or 3 months off)?
cheers,
Matt
