Steel Q's

[ozzy1]

Just to add a bit of fuel to the fire
I tried a chinese mig and most have probs with the wire feed motor/mechanism as they are really shit and not worth the bother unless you can get somebody to recommend you a good one that they have.
I just bought a 170 amp inverter arc welder as this is what we use at work(mine site).It is a quality brand Cigweld and has 3 year warranty etc,anyway the best part is the price as it cost me $399 about 240 quid and is absolutely fantastic.The quality of the welds is excellent and even my 3 year old could strike an arc with it as its basically one touch onto the workpiece and it arcs up.Although i will admit it is easier to tack your chassis with a mig

Think I am going to get A Clarke mig, of around 150 amp, just gotta unload stuff on ebay first

I have just blagged a welder on long term (read years) loan money will get spent on a chassis kit instead of a welder

Nice one, when are you getting your steel or are you flat packing it?

Now if someone will spray my chassis orange for me that would be just great. Got quoted £500 today.

We are all questions this afternoon

Will be getting a few bits of scrap to re-learn on, then will probably get a flat pack next month (ebay sales permitting)

Its a 170amp mig which should be OK, not sure on make, but I trust the owner.

is this stuff ok to build with?
