Ill be starting a night course in welding soon enough and would like to have a starter set so i can do some home work aswell. Does anyone have any good links or experience with it? Its a Mig course.

Try renting or borrowing ,I never did mig ,just Tig,stick and Oxy Acetylene.
I borrow the oxy acetylene bottles from a friend whenever I need it ,have a small stick welder here.
Good luck with the course ,welding is great crack:)

I would imagine a good one is expensive and a cheap one might not be worth it, I think aldi or someone were selling one recently. But quaility was possibly low. Haven't done any welding since school, Had a crack at mig, oxy-acetylene and spot resistance welding.

welding car bodywork requires different power levels to welding up pillars of sheds
