Hey everyone,
So, the closest I've been to welding is soldering or hot glue gunning... I'm a classic car enthusiast and I've been looking into welding for the past couple of weeks.
I've decided on starting of MIG welding (will be using gas since it from what I've read can be cleaner than fluxwire welding), so I've been browsing the internet looking for a welder.
- I live in Portugal so I have a 230V AC euro 2 plug outlet available to plug in the welder.
- I will be working on my garage with a single phase plug.
- I will be working on car stuff (as an hobby) so I was looking for a 200A mig welder.
- I enjoy the idea of, eventually, giving TIG a go.
- I'm not looking to spend more than +-300£ on the welder.
From what I've been browsing, I've selected 2 welder. One is a "multi-process", the other is just MIG/ARC:
a) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inverter-Welder-Multifunction-Welding-Machine/dp/B07FN9GHCB
b) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0798NP56W/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
Now that I've run out of knowledge I'd like to ask for yours in deciding if I'd be better of with option a) or b).
Feel free to ask any questions and thank you for your input!
