Hi guys
About to purchase my first MIG welder and could do with some advice. I'm looking at the following 2 models from Clarke (right price range, local, seem to get postive reaction on the groups) but not sure which would suit me better - they seem to be pretty similar ! Need something that will cope with a restoration project so probably bodywork and chassis
Clarke 151TE - Hobby Range £223.19 Clarke 160TE - Automotive/Industrial Range £234.94
151TE 160TE Max Amps 150 150 Amps at 60% Duty 65 75 Min Amps 30 30 Open Circuit V 19-31 18-28 Weld Thickness 6mm 4-5mmThe only other differences I can see from reading the specs are that the
151TE needs a 30amp supply and the 160TE has electronic wire feed controlDoes one appear to be better than the other or is there anything else out there I should be looking at
Thanks
Jim
