Which welder?

[Huntsman]

My trusty mig of 25 years died and went in a skip.

I have 2 jobs to do.

Set of engine mount brackets. They will be 10mm thick steel plate.

A water tank in 3mm 316 grade stainless.

No doubt there will be other welding tasks in the future.

What would you choose?

Hmm. I did think a small tig. Then I could tack together the brackets and get the local bloke that rebuilds steam engines to run over with a big stick welder.

I'm asuming the £50 Chinese IGBT welders are rubbish, so whats any good?
