Welder recommendations

[blaze_the_6]

I would really recommend that you get yourself a used professional model rather than a cheap new one, everything about them is usually better :-) if possible aim for a 3 phase one, it easier to weld well with them, especially if you are going to learn to weld on this machine :-)
I'm running a 400A beast I got cheap a few years ago, and it produces great welds, far from portable though :-P

Thanks for the reply, but as Jamie stated, I dont have a 3 phase power unfortunately and portability is key as I would also end up using it for work.

Could you recommend any decent brands of welder. Thanks
