Buying a Mig Welder...

[John from Skibb]

Hi all,
I currently have an arc welder (both air cooled and an inverter), but due to the quantity of welding I'm doing I want to upgrade to a MIG. One of the options I am looking at is an Oxford 240. Does anybody have this machine and if so what do they think of it? Also is 240 a good size to choose?
Otherwise what other brands would ye recommend? One of the limitations I see on the Oxford is a limit of 12 voltage steps? I have only ever used unlimited steps so I thought this might be a little restrictive, thoughts?

Thanks,
John

Absolute belter of a machine. Although I did go from a 160amp sip stick welder to this. Great for everyday farm fabricating etc. Never had it full power yet but there’s always a first

I help out on a place where they have a Oxford I think it's a 350.its been a good welder I wouldn't worry about having steps in the amp selection it's never been a problem
