Re: Welder question and recommendations

my old air liquide 170 mig was giving me trouble with the wire speed fluctuating all the time so I bought an everlast multi process welder. power MTS 225 lightning and the water cooler along with it for keeping the tig torch cool. a small water cooled tig torch and a few other odds and sods like the small tig cups and gas lenses. it is great but it comes with a large mig gun that I needed to replace with a smaller gun. they do that because the welder is rated for higher current than the smaller mig torch will handle. it is awesome but not having much practice with tig it is a steep learning curve.
I think itt's best if you buy the best welder you can afford.
