Hmmm.

Multi-process.....MIG....MMA

FFS.....Some of these units will do stainless, steel and aluminium....

The good MIG are exy though....think I'll look at something cheaper....

Maybe this one or one like it

Flippy caps are one of life's IQ tests.

Anyone here using low pro chain? If so and if oregon 91vxl, have you had any problems with chatter? I ask because others have mentioned it but I haven't had that prob but am keen to learn why they are. Lightweight saw perhaps? The long cutter not having enough room at the rear for chip clearance? I'm thinking will get a dry gum log, use a new loop, cut once to check feel then drop raker until can feel chatter then grind off the back of the cutter a bit and see if it helps reduce chattering? Sound like a plan or do you have any suggestions please?

Whenever we need to buy something I say we should just ask chippy because he often seems to sniff out great deals on all sorts of stuff. Reminds me of one of my favourite oz movies

not chattering as such but on the longer bars on my smaller saws boging down due to not clearing the chips properly

This is what I use at home. Works ok. About about 1200 bucks about 6 years ago
