MIGs

Basically after a MIG for doing odd jobs on the car(s) and at home. I have access to high powered professional stuff at work so it doesnt need to be a beast of a thing.

I have found 2 potential candidates, both the same price, but one is 130A the other is 150A. Which would you recommend?

I knwo the wire feed is a bit iffy on the DIY ones some times....

130A welder

150A welder

Cheers,
David

A good second hand MIG will be streets better than a DIY new one

Example http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/mig-welder_W0QQitemZ140306253783QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item140306253783&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_t rkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

i have a sealey 130 turbo mig welder which i got for 100 gold coins.

I did a bit of gassless flux core welding last weekend and it worked very well, powerfull enough to weld two large spanners together (i ran out of things to weld )

the wire feed was a bit naff when i got it but i replaced the plastic tube the wire goes down and now its spot on.





Dam...iv consused my ability with my intentions!
