MIG Welder recommendations
Evening all.
I think fixing my trusty old MIG might be to much of a gamble(though I still haven't 100% ruled it out). Even if I fix the transformer, the caps aren't looking the best and it looks like they will be in the $400 ballpark if they let go(30+ years old and I'm told the ESR doesn't look good).
So I am just starting to look around at options for a replacement.
I'm limited to single phase.
I guess a Binzel 15 would be nice as that's what I am used to and have spares for, but not a show stopper.
I have 3 15kg rolls but I really don't use that much wire so maybe the 5kg isn't such a bad idea? The old machine is not what you would call "light".(light as in getting it on a trailer by myself, certainly a light weight in the welding world)
I have a AC/DC TIG so I don't really need AC or multi process.
Surely I need pulse MIG...
Ideas??
TIA
Maybe the old MIG could be a wire feed for the TIG. Though given I don't do any production work that might be a little over the top.
