Gonna post this on tool talk also but figure it'll get hijacked by the I love me crowd pretty quick and I'll get a couple more constructive responses here.
Anyway,
Not a pro welder but can get by for the little bit I need to repair and play with. House electricity is 230 volt. Existing welder is a portable 145 amp box that does what I have needed but is limited to only one outlet that it can be used from without tripping a breaker. And it's heavy, bigger, and awkward.
Inverter welder could be used anywhere I feel like plugging it in (including my generator for light jobs so I'm told)...
Just not sure of what I should be getting..Have 3 in mind but don't want to over or under do it.....
1) 10-100 amp says will weld .8 to 8mm material
2) 20-140 amp .8 to 12mm and WIG capable (whatever that is :roll: )
3) 20-160 amp .8 to 15mm """""""""
Probably everything I would ever do would fall in the lower criteria, but don't want to be caught shorthanded if the two higher ones wouldn't be overkill.....

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
