are u sure cooking oil ?

I run my MIG welder plugged into a normal 13A socket  My MCB is rated 16A, C curve. It has never tripped. Wires haven't caught fire, socket hasn't melted.

Anyway, I weld maybe max 3 mm thickness maximum. The amps used at this level is relatively low. Power is the important consideration. If the 13A socket provides 3000 Watts (230V x 13A) then the welding set can also weld at 3000W, but the welding set is low voltage at about 20V only. So 3000W / 20V = 150A. Assuming the welding set is 80% efficient, 150A x 0.8 = 120A welding current.

That is why you can run a welding set from a 13A socket, if the welding current that you need is low. This will not be possible if you are welding thick material, at maximum Amps. But welding thin material with a current of 80A.... sure, go ahead.

MIG welding in M'sia uses straight CO₂, not a mixed gas. I have 2 tanks, one from the hardware shop made of steel, and my own alloy one (lighter) for when I need to travel someplace to weld. The hardware shop tank is replaced like your cooking gas tank; you give the empty tank to the shop, and you pay and collect a new full one. This available gas, and the fact that you can't easily find stainless steel welding wire, is the reason I say you can't reasonably weld s/steel with a MIG process in M'sia.

So, since you asked about MIG, that is the info I have for you.

You are correct about TIG welding, in that it is a "nicer" process. The same power rules apply to your welding current, and using a 13A socket at home. There is no special requirement with keeping Argon tanks, just that they must be secured, like all tanks should be. Other than that, no special precautions needs to be taken.
CAUTION! Argon is heavier than air, and does not support life!
I find the TIG process more elegant, and would like to own a set one day. Unfortunately, I want to build an aluminium boat, so the RM 6k entry price is a barrier for me, for what is basically a hobby! 

TIG has it's own issues. Among them would be cost of materials, cost of consumables, learning curve, slow process, needing accurate parts (TIG doesn't like gaps between pieces) and material cleaning and preparation. But, it looks really good, and is the only real process for doing s/s and Al. Maybe one day...

Got..i bought also

done order ...

will the oil keep on lesser and lesser ?
after some times need to topup the oil ?

thanks ...

guys ..
chain saw received ..

but wat oil to use for the chain ?
seller only gave empty oil bottle ..

thanks ...

Ideally before and after use can put a few drops, for lube n rust prevention. I use it to keep my hand tools eg bahco spanners & knipex pliers lubed up to prevent rust.

Dry lubricate. It looks almost like singer oil viscosity.
Motor or bicycle shop should have.

Dont use wet lubricate, sawdust will stick to wet lubricate.
Wet lubricate viscosity look like car's lubricate.

Cooking oil will turn rancid after a while.
WD40 is not a lubricate; it is a water dispenser (water remover).

few drop on all the chain part?

my hand saw mostly rusty already due to no supply oil tothe saw..
singer oil can use to keep inside the chain saw oil tank?
to keep the chain oil bath ?

When you said:

I believe that you suppose to add 20% more from the 150A, not reducing it 

Msia day tree pruning with mini chain saw......

Very small. I'd just use my manual hand cutter 

Fren ... cutter cannot leh.

few drop on all the chain part?

my hand saw mostly rusty already due to no supply oil tothe saw..
singer oil can use to keep inside the chain saw oil tank?
to keep the chain oil bath ?

not exactly power tool but related, what impact sockets u guys using? happy to move my question elsewhere if not appropriate.

i got a set of total impact socket but wondering if theres better alternative.
not to the level of snap on la. but rather affordable and decent.
