Gas less mig welding

Post by johnny »

Basically just anyone used it or know what it's like to use

I only really need it for tack welds on sheet metal, light metal and stuff like that as I use arc welder for everything else but it's to strong for thin metal
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Yeah that's perfect mate. All the reviews on the interweb said go gas but if it's strong I may go gas less as there so much cheaper

Sorry it's a bit late; we use gas welding at work and it is 10 times better than non-gas.

However, at home I've got a non-gass mig welder that we can swap between gas and no-gas. On the no-gas setting it's perfectly fine, me and my cousin built a fully functioning engine test rig with the non-gas setting; it's not fell apart yet either! For home projects and DIY definitely go no-gas if you're wanting a cheaper price but try get one you can swap between just in case you ever want to do anything on a big scale.

I think this is the one we've got http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ ... /010112180

there is another one, the 140 version and that's a bit cheaper too! :)

I already bought one:lol:

I have an arc welder that I use for everything heavy or structural

I wish you'd posted that earlier though as I'd have bought that, I didn't know you could get ones that did both
