Novice question - What would be your 'weapon' of choice?
I’m a DIYer with, I guess, about 100 hours (maybe less) experience with stick welding over about 50 years.
Considering stick, MIG, gasless MIG, and TIG, imagine you need to weld some 2-3mm mild steel tubing - the sort of material I'll use in most of my projects. What would your 'weapon of choice' be …
a. If you were a novice like me
b. If you have a lot of experience in all the welding modalities.
I need / want to buy a new welder to replace my el-cheapo 40 year old model. One machine that on paper looks like it will fit my needs and my budget (I am happy to spend a bit extra for quality, within limits) is the Cigweld W1008185 3 IN 1 WELDSKILL 185 MIG/TIG/MMA Single Phase Inverter Welder.
All thoughts on this machine, and recommendations for others in a similar price range would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am in Australia, so the options are a bit limited.
