My friend has had an Oxford for a while now and it’s great , my murex died last week and I’m seriously considering an Oxford as replacement asi feel my murex is to old to bother repairing .

Chatting to a pro welder here and asked what he'd recommend and he said TecArc first choice, Oxford second. Then he saw my 40-year-old LyteArc stick welder and told me not to bother getting anything else. Just to throw out the 40-year-old rods!

I believe Tec arc and Oxford are made in the same factory, and I was told that Oxford uses the better parts. I run an Oxford 330 single phase, it was under £1000 with 3 rolls of wire, a spare torch/lead, loads of consumables and an auto helmet. Fronius is probably the best, I think Oxford is the best value for money

Made in York. Very helpful we have used them for parts to repair our old aga mig.i sometimes use a oxford mig and it seems smoother than 0ur old aga.if it dies on us we will be buying a oxford

My lady got a old BOC tradesmig 200
It runs on a 32amp 240 volt single phase supply and it used every day.
I challenge anyone to find anything better for the £500 she paid for it.

Migatronic 350a 3ph and Murex 450a 1ph here, Migatronic is a brilliant machine to weld with, really smooth delivery and plenty powerful. The Murex needs a 32amp 'c' breaker and tin foil for a fuse, its just a thug really, but sticks big bits of metal back together pretty well.
