Hi me 2p worth used to weld at work and do car repairs on weekends mig welding is easy if you get the welder set up right and as others said its alot to do with quality of kit

for bog standard mild steel co2 is fine but if your gonna try ally or stainless you need argon the thickness of the wire and speed all count but with a little bit of time and some scrap peices to play with there easy enough to set up

i would buy the best highest ampage one i could afford its better to use light wire and have plenty of spare power then flogg it to death

my old set was about 175 amp mind you the house lights used to dim a bit while i was on the power

Ok, the mig I have for sale is a Snap-On Pro 160, looks to be in good condition. There is also a full size bottle in the shed. I just need to empty the cupboard to see if there is any wire/ guages/nozzles etc.

Anyone interested.?
