gassless mig welder

are they any good compared to proper mig what is the finish like please

I used my mate's gasless mig to see how it compared a few years ago. From what I remember it wasn't too bad on 1-1.5mm, can't really remember for the thick stuff. Might not have been so good.

if you want a good finish use a tig welder, but theyre a pain to learn to use! if you can work it the finish looks the nuts.

Aren't they expensive. Can I use them with small gas bottles?

Word of advise. DONT buy gasless mig. Waste of time and quality is shit. Best to save a bit more and get a proper gas mig,

mine cost about 400 quid, does stainless and ally too, if ya know how to work the bloody thing! have to use argon gas, not argon mixed.

gasless migs were designed for working outside, they are also a higher current rating to start, and as a result tend to just blow holes in car panels

horses for courses, but for a car, stick to conventional gassed mig, or as said, if you can, TIG

Had one,,cost a fortune for wire,,now use gas

Go for gas mig u can hire argon light bottles don't worry bout tig it's difficult and it's harder to fill gaps if ur not good at it mig gas all the way
