Hi guys, haven't posted for a while as work commitments and life is getting most of my time...anyway, as per title i am looking to buy a single Tig welder and single mig welder about 250 Amps to keep my workshop a bit tidier and manage the space a bit better... Currently i have a thermal arc ta202 AcDc which i used 10-15 times so far (its my back up unit), a Lincoln V205 ACDC which is my workhorse, a Kemppi minarc 180 DC on a cart and a clarke 151 mig welder which i use ocasionally when really rusty welding jobs occur ! So i am trying to reduce the clutter in my garage.
The Lincoln is on a cheapo cart with a generic chinese torch cooler and i am running a 8m long tig torch which has served me well so far and i can get decent reach within my garage and i use the kemppi for the mobile jobs as its on a cart along with a 20l argon bottle. When outside jobs are necesarry then i disconnect the Lincoln and use a pair of 10l gas bottles which can see me trough a day or two of continuously welding if it needs to !
As per my title i am trying to get the best set of tig and mig welder so i can keep just one of each on the cart, preferably with water cooling as well ! What would be your best choices on a budget of 5k and what would be your choices if money were no problem ? Thank you very much in advance !
