Psshhhht Member 165 Member For: 8y 3m 7d Posted 22/02/19 10:42 PM Share Posted 22/02/19 10:42 PM morning all... whoever it was asking about welding or something above remindeds me.. I wanna learn to mig and tig weld, in anticipation of eventually building my clubman (Plus just generally think it'd be useful to be able to do). Any recommendations on what is a good brand that's fairly reliable while being not super expensive? And relatively easy to learn with (if such a thing exists?)

I had a trolley at home that I used to place the welder and mount the gas bottle to but these are fairly inexpensive. By the time I bought gloves, mask, welding rods, spare electrodes, gas etc I spent about $2400. It comes with instructions so you can get the settings close and watching youtube clips will help with learning. You'll want a bunch of other power tools to help with using the welder too. It's a pita to sharpen tig electrodes on an angle grinder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And relatively easy to learn with (if such a thing exists?) you can save alot of cash if you forgo the need to weld aluminium a DC welder only, is less than half the price of an AC/DC welder I have been using THIS welder for 5 years now it is all plastic, but still pretty tough (not as tough as a steel case) It comes with gas regulator and a small box of tungstens, ceramic shrouds etc mine is used mon to fri at least 4 hours a day some days it gets used for 9.5 hours the only "extras" you would need are gas, welding wire, helmet and gloves don't try to save money on a welding helmet though I have had this helmet for over 8 years now, just replaced the head harness for the second time still works like a dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost more than I made, mainly because I got cleaned out when I decided not continue floating my account, when one more injection off minimum funds would've got me through a slump and ended up landing me $8K profit 5 minutes later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
