Yes its true, after playing with an Arc Welder that had been lent to me, and suking badly at it, visited dad to have a go at his 3 phase mig! Welcome to the future! I was so wrapped, I went out and got my own. Here's a run down, if you are thinking of MIG, don't stuff around with 10Amp, get yourself a 15Amp. Its a breeze to get a 15Amp plug installed in the garage, if you know an electrician that works for beer! And the 15Amp welders are built bigger than the 10Amp ones, so all your mates wont laugh at you and say stuff like.... "look at his little welder, its so cute"... You don't want that do you??!?!! And there are more benefits, like 15kg wire spools (suks to change wire), built in gassbottle trolley, changeable torch lead, inbuilt fan for better duty cycle. And considering the 10Amp equivalent was 5 times smaller in size.... and only 150buks cheaper.... you do the math.... OOOH-OOOH!!! And its got a crane hoist point!! YAY! =D
Since the arrival of Mr Mig, I have been busily burning holes in my chassis (better than burning hold in bits of practice metal I say)! With any luck I may have some good welding to show you all next week. Stay tuned!!
With crappy welding like this, it can only get better... right?! =)
