hi there folks!
new to the forum, and going to buy my first mig welder.
i was thinking to get a clarke 160tm, but i live in Portugal, and was going to order from another country. the problem is that, there is no technical assistance in Portugal.
so, after searching for a while i found a guy selling a used miller compactblu 243 for 500euros (arroung 450£) and a brand new cemont maxistar 180 for 450euros (400£). both of them have a dealer arround, so it's easy to get parts.
i'm going to use the machine to weld my chassi legs and build some subframes for me and my mates. and start doing some metal repair on my friends car.
which one to you think is the best buy?
