Hi Everyone,
New to the forum here, and just about to get back into welding - was a Stainless Steel fabricator about a decade ago! So looking for advice on new machines.

I've found a Uni-Mig Viper 200DC TIG/MMA Welder - KUMJRVT200P on Gumtree for $650 - seems like a good deal to me? Wondering if anyone has any experience with this specific model? (And then with Unimig as a brand in general).

My other options are to pick up a Cig-weld or something of the like. I'm looking to get fully set up to weld S/S for around the $1000 mark. Not looking to go super high amps, it'll mostly be hobby/DIY stuff in the garage like building smokers/bbqs, welding sheet, tube and small bars. I do like the idea of having a bit of arc and gas control with the machine.

Any recommendations, experience and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mark
