Hi,

Im looking at getting a new welder. I currently just have a old small CIG arc welder plus a bit bigger CIG arc welder that doesnt seem to weld as good as the little one. I dont know wheter I should spend $1400 on a good MIG or buy one of those tiny inverter ARC welders that come with a TIG torch?

Any suggestions

Got to admit a MIG is a bloody good alround thing.

After all, there's no other welder you can use to pull broken studs out of heads and the do a great job on fab work.

TIG is neater though, especially on roll cages, but if that's what you want it for an arc would do the same job for heaps le$$

tig is so slow it puts me off, and it take so longg to fill gaps compared to a mig i have both and got over the tig.
go a unimig 240 should get a 15kg roll thrown in for 1400
cheers bru
