Title: is this any good Post by: Big Uli on March 12, 2010, 08:36:36 PM I'm looking at mig welders and i'm wondering if this one is any good
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MIG-WELDER-195-AMP-PRICE-INCLUDES-VAT_W0QQitemZ160412193100QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item25594fd14c i don't wanna pay to much as i'm a) learning and b) will only tag my frame together and pay someone to do the rest of the welding I would hate to end up with a high voice sitting on top of a prop shaft spinning round as my welding gives way ;D Title: Re: is this any good Post by: tbone on March 12, 2010, 08:55:12 PM good price for a 195amp mig. I would ask that if you cut the blue plug off, will it affect the warranty. I also note that its not rigged for gas welding and the seller says it `just needs a regulator`, so this will cost around £25.
