Thought I would just recycle this thread rather than start a new one

Looking into getting a welder in the 300 pound range. I would rather get well branded one that is rather limited and lasts for a while.

Another limitations is size. Have little space in my flat so mig and gas isnt really ideal so most likely ARC

Got some some experience welding with a cheap Mig SIP but it eventually died and I chucked it.

Would like to weld up to 4mm mild steel at least

Willing to pay more if any one has a strong recomendation but since I usually prefer plastics over metals its really only for the odd jobs which my MIG SIP used to do

Found a rather cheap thermal arc

Would this sort me?

Thanks in advanced and any trusted retailers would be super sweet.
Cheers guys.
