I agree http://www.mig-welding.co.uk is the site for welding advice. I recently bought a Butters 181, and its more than capable on the thick stuff but welding anything less than 1.5mm you have to be really careful, it helps to use the technique described here http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/thin-metal.htm. Guys on the welding site will talk about Portamig welders which will do what you are after - both thin and thick stuff.

Les, Ive had exactly what you describe above with the Kenlowe switch, and opted for a X-Eng switch. Thing is it seems like its taking too long to switch on and i dont know if i trust it. If left ticking over how long would you expect a Rover v8 to take to get up to temperature before it needs the fan? I should probably get the thermometer re-wired up! Mike
