Hi Folks.
Done a bit of welding in the past (gas welding and brazing and some stick / mig) but long time ago. Was under guidance then but never really understood what was best for which job.
Now I want to get something for the garage that will do for all my needs including:
Making brackets for panniers, welding tube for frames, bike frame repair, welding sheet metal - ie. car body panels, tank repair, possibly even some aluminium or stainless too (though prolly need different kit for that).
Q: What type of kit do I need?
Q: What size should I be looking at?
Q: Anything available with the versatility for all the above?
Hoping for something with simple set-up requirements - and without the need for gas bottles!
Feedback appreciated.
