Hi me and my dad are after a new welder, He likes migatronic the rally 166 but i said the parts are expensive and it's an old machine.
So i suggested the portamig 215 is it??? That welds upto 8mm is it?
But he said alright it comes with a 2 year warranty but you don't know if the company will go bust in 24 month or not, and alright it's made in britian and people rave about it and the forum but is it any goood??? And i said they look good machines. And parts are not expensive for them, And i want to make a intermediate gearbox mount for my bug thus needing a high welding machine, But dad said you will need a stick welder if you want to weld 6mm sheet steel???
He wants to get a welder of our local which is Kays welding supplies, but they have ex rental machines and they are battered and over priced.
Needs to be single phase as well please
So thus me needing your help on which welder Budget £600 pushing to £650
cheers Luke
