Hello all,

I've recently been teaching myself to arc weld with a cheapie I picked up at Kmart. Now I'm thinking of upgrading to something that is of more use. The question is should I spend a few hundred dollars on a decent Arc welder or spend similar money on a low end MIG.

Most of my projects will be with structural steel, e.g. Wheel carrier, trailer etc rather than thin steel bodywork. At a guess the minimum thickness would be about 1.6mm.

Any thoughts on which way the dollars should go?

Many thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Chris
