gas or no gas...

[pikey1986]

i use a clarke pro90 thing with 0.6mm wire, it survived a stay with baxter and is still going strong

[Curtoise]

to be honest i needed to weld a few brackets of about 5mm thickness and went and got some flux gassless wire from halfords, did the job very well! nice penetration and no bird crappy look.

i have to add though i have used flux wire before and it was absolute ****e!

machine marts little welders suck the sweat off of a dead mans balls !!!!!!! there 5hite
go get your self a cebora 130 amp minimum i have been welding for well over 13 years and had noting but ****e with clarke welders so i went and bought a Esab 200 caddy ! what a weapon !

This.
I have a miller welder, bought it on offer about 8 years ago, was about £325 iirc but like the old saying goes, you only get what you pay for. With your temper marris you will have axed a Clarke welder after 10 mins

i have a clarke 151TE...nothing wrong with it. welds car panels fine...picked mine up for £200 refurbed on that bay place. and you can get auto dimming masks for £30 which work find as long as they are fully solar.

gas is best as everyone has already said

i would get on ebay let somone else spend the bigmoney on buying it new!!
get a decent one you can use for other things aswell as car tin because you "will" want to weld bigger stuff

I use an ARC welder, its pretty damn good but can be tricky/hard to weld thin metal

[windfreek]

gas all the way, I got a cheep gasless off the 'bay for £50 with a load of wire, tbh it started out awfully, but as i got used to it it can be quite good at the odd job, more useful outside on really windy days, but in the end if you want a good end result get a gas one, altho I do think if you master gasless then when you swap to work with gas, the results will be 10x better than before.

i brought a brand new clarke 135te and a dimmer mask in the end, a massive thanks to Stevegsi for the vat free discount code, rep added. didnt want to buy second hand, as with a new one you get a warranty, thanks to everyone else for there views and comments
