    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.

    wait until you start the course, what type of stuff do you want to do with it?

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