Looking for a Mig welder. Don't fancy paying new prices for one at the moment so what you got? Needs to be at least 150a and single phase.

Cheers

What's your budget? Its worth getting something decent and you can also sell it on again. The mig welding forum is good for advice. There's one here https://www.gumtree.com/p/welding-equipment/cebora-autostar-180-mig-welder/1222048646

Aye I did see that one, don't fancy spending much more than £200 ATM though. Missed out on brand new Kennedy 150 leopard for £100 today.

I spent months looking for a mig. Then I put a wanted on gumtree and got a really good machine. It's always best to see what your buying is working properly. Test wire speeds and all power settings.

Perfect m8! Sometimes people can't be arsed with advertising things for sale so sometimes wanted ads are better! What make and amps did u buy? Hobby welding bottles are crap if you are doing lots of welding. So if your doing lots of welding give me a shout and I will send u a link to a bigger gas bottle :thumb:
