Multiprocess machine for someone new to welding
Hi everyone, I'm looking at buying a multi process welding machine for home handyman type work. So odd jobs welding mild steel up to say 5mm odd thick (making shelving etc.) and in the distant future car body panel rust repairs, car exhausts etc.
I'd like to stay with a 10 Amp plug, and am looking at starting with using arc (stick) and gasless MIG. Then possibly TIG? Initially I'm going to give it a go myself using online resources to help the learning curve. I've got plenty of steel lying around to experiment with and the time. (I know I should do some sort of welding course given my lack of experience.)
As far as machines go, I've been looking at something along the lines of - Unimig VIPER Inverter 185, CIG Weldskill 185, Lincoln Electric Powercraft 191C etc. Any thoughts on those or other brands/ models as a long term proposition for reliability, parts availability in the future... I won't be using the machine daily or doing huge amounts of welding in one go.
