[QUOTE="Blackleg, post: 1107548, member: 5617"] Blimey! He was asked to step in on a thread with what he's got to offer and he did. I don't think he over sold anything. It seems to me you're trying to pull Tom apart on technical details that are irrelevant: Duty cycles are important I'll give you that but the description given in the links are honest and consistent with every other advert for welding plant on the market. OCV, (that's Open Circuit Voltage for those who read this and don't know) is restricted to 80 volts by law so the operator doesn't get fried if there's a fault, it used to be 100 volts but now it's not. It makes not a sh1t of difference to the quality of the weld or the capacity of the machine, I defy you to buy a new welder with an OCV of greater than 80v in the EU today. 24 output settings, again it makes no odds how the 180 amps are divided within reason and I think 24 sounds about right. Why did you pick up on this point? I've never heard of the torches you mentioned. I reckon the reason that "genuine Binzel torch" was quoted is to reassure potential customers that they're not getting a cheap Chinese copy of a Binzel torch that are plaguing eBay. There's nothing wrong with a Binzel torch - I run one on my Fronius and that's a £6k welder. I don't own an Oxford welder but I'd buy one tomorrow if I needed a single phase transformer based MIG, it'd be a toss up between an Oxford and a Portamig. They both carry a pedigree and both have a waiting time because they need to be built (here in the UK by the people you're buying them from). As for Parweld.... I wouldn't buy one. I'm a welder by trade, you're right in what you say they're a generic inverter stick welder. I would (I did/I do) spend a bit more money on a higher specced welder. But not everyone does this for a living and people need to make choices based on priorities and budgets. I wouldn't buy a Parweld but I'd recommend one (along with other generic inverters) to a bloke who doesn't need to run it all day every day and doesn't want to spend a fortune on a Fronius/Kemppi/Esab...... etc etc You don't need to get booted for you post El arado but you do need to be held to account for being pedantic and unhelpful. I don't know Tom, I've never done business with him or anyone else on here. I rarely post, I have no interest to declare with Oxford/Portamig/Parweld... Your post pee'd me off to be fair, alright he's a salesman but he offered good honest advice and he didn't deserve your poisoned and scathing response. All the best, Jim [/QUOTE]
