I agree, I have the same one but it`s from MTA (MigTigArc) in portsmouth, same machine but badged as theirs and blue not red. It works a treat & after years of mucking about with hobby migs and crappy wire feeds it is a real eyeopener to use one of these, especially when you want to stitch weld in short bursts, the wire feed is fantastic, (the motor is like a big car wiper motor). I can`t recall what I paid for it a few years ago but I seem to think it was slightly less than Weldquipe & free next day delivery too. I also don`t think it was really much more expensive than a big Clarke welder.
Reliability is excellent, no probs at all, well worth the investment.
Dennis.

Default Proper welder!

I've been tacking my chassis together with my cheapo (£99.99) hobby gasless mig welder and been practicing the full welds on some scrap.

Had a go with a PROPER BIG BOYS welder today and it's a billion times easier and produces far better welds.

I have a thermal ark dc tig set for sale 150 amp this is a top quality machine i paid £895 for it last year its as new condition if anyone is interested i'd let it go for £350. This is an industrial quality machine you can weld all day long full power and it won't cut out like all the cheap sets do. Runs on 240v supply
I use these sets at work and there bullet proof little machines.

I have a Cebora 130 pocket turbo which seems seem quite expensive for a 130amp welder, are they any good?

Has anyone had any experience with this type of welder and would it be suitable to weld the chassis.
