They sell Miller welders in the UK. Check out the Miller Diversion. What is your experience gas welding with oxy/acet ? You going to need about 2100 bucks.
How often are you going to weld and how thick will the metal be? Those two questions determine the cost of the welder.
If you are a hobbyist and welding an occasional thin piece a cheap welder will suffice. If you plan to make money at it, pay for the best welder you can afford. For instance, I need to occasionally cut steel, sometimes half inch thick (13mm) but I'm just repairing my own machinery or some fabrication for myself. I bought a Lotos 50A plasma torch. It does what I need. Now if I were in production, I would spend lots more money and buy a Miller or one like it. My Lotos was $300 USD but the Miller would run me $1500.
