Hi,
I'm currently trying to do some necessary bodywork repairs for an upcoming MOT and having some difficulty because the arc welder I have
--even on its lowest setting-- keeps blowing holes in the metal (to think we commit our lives to these rolling biscuit tins!).
I can't run to a professional MIG welder but had a look at what else is available. I had in mind a no-gas MIG welder from Screwfix but find its lowest output is 60 amps, which is higher than the 45 amps my current welder goes down to, so that doesn't seem useful.
What I also found was an inverter welder with variable output from 5 to 90 amps, which seems a much better bet, but I don't know what an inverter welder is. The info says it has an input of 230 volts at 10 amps, so what is the inverter business?
Can anyone guide me through this enigma? Or anyone experienced at welding thin metal give me the benefit of that experience? MOT rushing up towards me at alarming rate!
Many thanks,
brian mitchell
