TIG or MIG welder

Thanks birchy, I'll look into those makes. No worries on the power supply, I've just moved into a workshop with 240 & 3 phase supply, I'll get the leccy to install whatever breaker/socket is needed.

In that case, it might be worth looking for a used industrial machine. They're usually fairly cheap because not many people will have 3 phase. Have you got a Saracen near you? They're a local company who supply workshop equipment and often have reconditioned/serviced machines they've taken as part-ex.
