Anyone got anything good to say about gasless mig?
I'm heartily sick of my SIP Turbo 130 gas mig which seems to require endless 'petting' before it can be persuaded to weld anything
(admittedly it's usually an age between outings) and welding outside (as I was last week while building a stand for my pillar drill and grinder) is just a waste of time, annoying porous welds that have to be cleaned up and welded afresh.
I decided to buy a cheap gasless from say, Screwfix (about £80) or B&Q but a bit of research turns up almost limitless doubters on the merits (or otherwise!) of gasless.
So I wondered whether anyone had had any good experiences of going gasless. Principle uses would be Land Rover, trike frame and bits and pieces around the workshop -- ie nothing that has to be terribly pretty!
Yes, the wire's more expensive but judging by the prices on Ebay for a reel, not that much more
