Wtd: Mig Welder
Looking for a semi industrial mig welder for the new garage.
I can run a 16A single phase supply so no problems there.
Would rather spend the money on a good secondhand one as long as parts are easily available rather than a cheapo clarke one.
Anyone got one?
Cheers,
David

Spend the cash, get yourself a Portamig off weldquipe on the mig welding forum.
Worth every penny imo...

I think its a case of send him (weldquipe) a PM telling him what you want and ask him for a quote.
- Not done it myself and i know there are more than the clarke ones clearly but apprently his prices are often very good.

Sadly spares are a problem for them apparently.
I dont really want to spend over £250 so the Transmig ones are massively over my budget.

That means a new Portamig is well out of price range.
Mine was about £550 I think, for the 185, and including a longer (4m) torch.
The Clarkes are not actually that bad - Weldequip is a Clarke dealer as well, and he services/repairs them if and when they need it. Apparently, they
have got a lot better in the last few years.
Nice guy to deal with, rather than some no-brain MM salesman

If I could get a new Clarke 151 for £250 that may be an option (i.e. machine marts price with the VAT off)
Will see whats around
