Buying a welder.

[NiqueNaque]

Mitch,Can get a similar one from Unimig for $620 inclusive for a 160 amp unit including helmet, manual arc welding leads and tig wand with regulator, comes in a yellow plastic nearly nicholas proof case. Mine seems to weld nicely in stick mode - haven"t tried it in tig mode but expect that it will be good for it too.Available from B J Howes up here at Lisarow. If you want one can organise it for you at the shop and post it down.Cheers,Nic.

Rob,I thought it looked alright, though I am being guided here Mate. Nick,I kinda like the idea of the extra amps. $620-$720 Complete.Unimig or Cig.......Hmmm ???Can you post a link to your machine?Thanks Nick. ;DMitch

Mitch,Keep in mind you will be paying an annual rental fee for the gas bottles,plus the gas for both the mig and tig.

Kym,Yes Mate I fully understand, there are consumerables and gas, whether Tig or Mig because gassless Mig is not really what I want to end up with.I new I was going to gas, eventually,...... and then it comes down to Mig or Tig.Cheers,Mitch

Yes Mate I fully understand, there are consumerables and gas, whether Tig or Mig because gassless Mig is not really what I want to end up with.Mitch,I have been told you can get disposable bottles from hardware store. Would save the rental costGraham
