WANTED - Mig Welder
I'm after a hobby mig welder, because I have an buzz box arc welder, but its a bit agricultural and I fancy something easier for more delcate
jobs.
I do NOT want gasless or a SIP machine unless it has no wire feed issues (and most seem to which is a shame as they are cheap).
I will organise a courier to collect at my cost or collect in person.
I have up to £100, maybe a touch more for a higher rated machine or if it includes a decent size bottle of gas.
Must be single phase 240v with a standard 13amp fuse domestic plug.
Cheers folks!

those aldi welders are getting slated on the mig-welders.co.uk forum!
the guys on there recommend the clarke 130/135ts as the best hobby welder for value for money

And to think that I thought I was an optimist.  
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

We have a sip Mig mate turbo and it works fine- kept in a warm garage so the wire stays bright, also have an industrial machine at work with free
argon so the little one could go, it has mostly been used with stainless wire for exhausts.
