Mig Welders.... Any Advice Please

Post by snavetrauts »

Hi folks... I am after one of these.... any adivce please.?

I get power from a gennie and therefore am limited to a conventional power supply. According to some home work I have done... the max power I can get from a 13 amp supply is approx. 130 amp system.... I would like gas/gasless for obvious reasons.

2 models that look good are the Sip Welmate T130DP approx @200 and the Draper 135 amp system Number 72224 £189.

Anybody out there have one that can advise on bargains etc

Cheers

Stuart

I bought a similar sealey branded one about 10 yrs ago and it looks like the prices have come down since then :cry:
I've always found it difficult but not impossible to use/setup ,infact anyone i've lent it to has been unable to use it (even "professionals",) which is handy ,because no one asks to borrow it anymore.
The gasless mode with flux wire is poor ,generating huge amounts of heat and lots of spatter.
