Mig (Nige!)

May 26, 2008 3 Replies

Aldi are doing the discount Mig and wire again sadly ( if you plan to start using the bottles later ) the machine is a no-gas adequate for DiY tho. I'll be saving a few quid on fluxed wire simply because these days the postage really bumps the price up. Pity the apron wasn't available earlier before my T shirt began to resemble a crumpet ( spatter dropping into my overall jacket )

Derek NB.Usually a week or two after Aldi either Lidl or Netto will roll their Mig's out


Are you recommending this unit as suitable for a hopeless clumsy oaf?

I believe the technical term for most of my efforts to date is: pidgeon poo

I like the wire I rate it better than some pricy crap I bought a Al Frauds (see a pattern here). I'm happy enough with my own Mig but it is a rather dearer Sip 150 turbo gas/gasless

for the money Aldi are asking and with a G'tee its a lot more welder than the cheapest Sip or Clarke and more controllable than the 105 amp Migmate ( had one ) which is half the problem sorted . Why do you want to weld pigeons they are a bugger to set in the vice :-) and getting the right wire is a royal pain. Derek

ok thanks, I'll give it some serious consideration.

used up all the sparrows.
