Hi all.

Just looking into welders. Wanting to get 1 because im sick of getting my pop having to bring his work 1 home to use on the weekends. They have a big mig think is round 250A.

Have to have a single phase.

Im building a offroader buggy ie this one: www.abacus.com.au

Anyone got any info or good sites for buying welders.

816842 2009-10-06 05:59:00 My welder mate tells me the only one he would consider,even as a home jobbie is a 190amp min,which cost round 1800.
Gasless wire is about 3 times the price of gas wire.

My Mig has only done around 2 hours welding if that's new enough for you. It's still on its first roll of wire and in great condition. I'm running argon at the moment but it can be converted to gasless for $100. It's single phase with a 20 amp plug.
The guy I bought mine off is selling the same machines on Trademe with a buy now of $1800.
I'll let mine go for $700 to a good cause - if you change your mind about buying new.
