Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Advice needed regarding welder, no other content

[Martin Stark (MStark]

I recently bought a Clarke 130EN MIG welder.  It's a better quality 
hobby welder that's rated at 130Amps and between 3/16" and 1/4" capacity 
in steel.  Although it's convertible to gas, I've been using it with 
Hobart Fabshield fluxcore wire and getting very good results.  I found 
this site to be helpful.  http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/
