    I just bought a TradeTools direct 180Amp MIG welder for $430. I'm yet to use it (need to get a gas bottle), but it looks 1/2 OK. Cheap chinese shitter, but it appears to have a fair amount of wire speed and amperage adjustment.

    TradeTools aparently sell a lot of these units. Aparently good for the home hobbiest.

    I'll post up my thoughts once i've used the thing!

    This TTD180MIG you fellas are talking about, whats the thickest steel you would be able to weld with it, sounds cheap with a reasonable amperage.

    Nick what in your educated opinion are the Pro's and Con's of this welder?

    Cheers JAke

    I just decided I'm gonna buy a welder. This week end.
    I got access to welders at work, but I don't get to use them. They seem to think there's no point teaching an apprentice how to do it when there's all these other blokes who can.
    I can TIG, but I'm not great, but the only thing I'd be weldin' is cyclinder heads.

    What I want is something I can keep in the shed for panel work, fabricating shit and other bits and pieces for my AE86 (rust!!!!!) and the project me and a friend are gonna do after wards - from scratch (Cept it's a dirty Nissan).

    What do I need Nick, what do I neeeed?
