Hi
I have read on the web that the best of the new mig's in the budget range are Clarke. I am going for a 151TE which is a version of the 150TE with a little more control. It's the feed control thats apparently the deciding factor. Its all third hand info and I cannot vouch for it, but it's what I have found out. The 150TE won a "best of" with Autoexpress, for what that's worth!. I can arc weld no probs, even put a crossmember on with one, but now looking to be able weld thin metal with some sort of cosmetic result. Whatever you get factor in the cost of gas and perhaps getting a C02 bottle and regulator as disposable bottles cost a lot in the long run,
