- I've had two 110volt MIGs, which do fine for my use, which is probably similar to yours. TIG is much better if you are real serious (roll cages, formula car chassis) but they are much more expensive.

- With your knowledge and intended usage, MIG is your only possible solution. Try to stay away from a "gasless" welder, would recommend only C25 shielding gas. Also, you will find advantages in buying
