I have a Clarke TE 135 MIG welder for sale.

 

About 3 years old, I assembled it when I got it but it has never been used.

 

Still has the original gas bottle.

 

I had a 32 amp supply installed in my previous garage with the intention of doing some bodywork on my mini.

However, I had to sell my house and my present garage has an antiquated and feeble power supply that wouldn't be safe to use with the welder.

The upside was I was able to get the car professionally restored so have no need for the welder.

 

I would like £130 for it.

 

Will need to be collected. I am based in Westwoodside North Lincs.

I have looked at several MIG welders over the years, but realise that what I really need, is someone who can use it.

I get the feeling you're probably being modest and can probably do a better job than me .. but for anyone else wondering, it's not really that hard just get stuck in and try on a few bits of scrap metal, make something just for fun where it doesn't really matter too much

 

I'm still a bit ropey with it, I'm not pretending to be any sort of master welder but I've been at it about 18 months now and I can make two bits stick together with no gaps or pin holes, and then grind it back to something resembling almost totally flush.. once you get past the initial swearing and getting angry at it stage (or is that just me) then it's a quick learning curve I found

MIG was rare when I first had to vanquish the dreaded 'tin-worm'.  All that I had was Oxy, braze and heat-sinks, which always seems to need at least one extra hand.
