Which one, MIG or TIG? They're very different beasties. What do you want to use it for? TIG is much, much more expensive than MIG.

Why not both? Not gonna be cheap to get a reputable multi-process unit though, Lincoln have some compact ones starting at around £1200, Millers are another £500 on top of that.

Looking at prices, I think TIG is going to be too expensive. It’s to try fix up that DIY cargo bike into something usable, and maybe a few smaller odd jobs to get the feel for welding.
Let’s say MIG, as a beginner.
Edit: wait I’m watching YT vids about cheap ‘MIG’ and learning that gasless actually means flux core, therefore really not great for anything.
Is stick welding impossible?

Lowest priced MIG/TIG weld option that isn’t made of cheese?
Also, likely total cost? Additional necessary extras?
