Hi everyone!
I've never touched a welder before, other than a propane torch to join some plumbing. I've watched too many This Old Tony videos though and really want to get my dirty dick beaters on a mig welder.
I'm in the UK and a quick look on eBay leaves me totally unsure what to go for. Since it will not be in use often, I want to use flux cored wire (No gas bottle) and limit to no more than £200. Can anyone help me with a recommendation? Many of the new budget machines look like they came off the same production line with a differnt brand sticker.
Am I right thinking that even a mig machine designed for gas can use flux cored wire and go gasless? I saw a Cebora / Snap on machine used for £180 but does not say 'gasless'.
Thanks
Simon
