Hi folks,
I've been spending at least a couple of hours per day for months (years?) learning all I can about welding. I've been keeping my eye out for a deal on a good welder. I ultimately want to specialize in TIG, but I want a good practical solution to do work on my motorcycle, odd jobs, workshop improvements and projects. So, I have found an SIP autoplus 196 turbo (dp) that was at an automotive shop which is shutting down. The unit looks clean for it's age, and the price is $200.Should I pull the trigger on this one? Thanks for any insight you can offer. I'm not familiar with the brand, I think that they were popular in the 90s, made in Italy via the UK where SIP is based. Typical big 4 wheel machines, gas bottle rack, 15kg spool size. Has a spotweld time setting, otherwise, wire speed and current. Cheers!
