I've owned a small arc welder for years and bought a cheap gasless mig a while back.

The mig is a piece of crap (being gasless doesn't help) and the arc blows holes in anything thinnish.

Now it's probable that i've no idea what I'm doing but perhaps buying a good quality mig or one of the new multifunction mig, tig, mma will help my fabricating skills

Any advice on inverter V's the older coil type machines or 3 in 1's.

I'd prob stick with the well known stuff like BOC etc not the eBay cheapies.

A local dealer here has a new, old stock, BOC 190C Mig for $800 V's the newer inverter 3 in 1 for the same money. Just seems to be doubling up on the arc that i already have plus I'm prob not going to use the TIG feature.

A new inverter 200 amp Mig is around $1100....is it worth spending and extra $300? Does an inverter give you a better job, easier to use?

Cheers
