Wondering if I buy an Esab LKA 150
Hello,
I never been really satisfied with my welder, and there is a second hand ESAB for sale. On the paper, powers are the same, but I have hard time to interpret the technical datas. What I'm looking for is a slightly more powerful welder, as mine looks to have hard time with 3mm plates. Could you please tell me if it is worth to by the ESAB ? I bought my welder 2nd hand for 100 euros. The ESAB is for sale at 160 euros including a 5 liter gaz tube, so it looks like a pretty good deal to me. But will it be more powerful ? Thanks for your answer and advices, here are the technical datas for both welders : My MIG Welder : Easycraft 145 : http://www.awelco.com/_download/tecn.../11140_tec.pdf Main Voltage 230V Battery Capacity 2,5 KVA No load voltage 20-32V Welding current 35-120A Duty Cycle 15% 120A Duty Cycle 60% 70A Duty Cycle 100% 58A Power settings 4 Wire spool 0,5-5kg Wire (steel) 0,6-0,8 mm Insulation class F Protection degree P21 Box volume 0,061m3 Size 295x570x365 Weight 25,6kg The Esab LKA150 I might buy : http://www.welding.org.uk/esabmanual.../LKA%20150.pdf Mains supply 230 V,1−fas 50 Hz Fuse, slow 10 A Mains lead 3x1,5 mm2 Wire feed speed 2,5−15 m/min.
