I've really got into welding after doing some on one of the buggies at college but can't justify spending over 400 pound for a similar model to the ones we use. So can anyone recommend me a fairly good welder either mig or arc and preferably gasless as cheap as possible (less than 100 pound) I know I won't get a great one for that money but atm it's only for modifying a rotax kart frame to fit a YB100 motor. Thanks!

Clarke Clarke Clarke! As said dont even think about Sip, all three of yhose ive tried are only fit for the bin!

Gasless is pretty much useless too.


Save up untill you can afford something fit for the job

Are the Clarke pro 90's any good?

For what you want to do i would think they would be ok. Not ideal for cars as i would think the duty cycle would be rubbish but for welding up a Kart frame should be enough.
