[QUOTE="njneer, post: 6975307, member: 65582"] Get what you pay for with welders, bit like tractors, Chinese things are cheap and do a job but don’t last, amazing how often you use them when you have one so a decent one is a must as you will miss it if it stops working. if you want something substantial in build and performance unfortunately it will come at a cost but with that comes quality, longevity , service and UK based back up through a decent sales network. Buying cheaper stuff off the internet you are at the mercy of the gods trying to get any help or warranty through foreign call centres should it pack in ( and it will), I woukd recommend buying a known brand from a local welding equipment supplier , yes sit will cost that bit more, but peace of mind that it’s the right tool for the job with help nearby . If it’s a quality brand you shouldn’t ever need them. Local supplier probably do you a decent deal, I bought a Mosa 220 amp petrol one in 2009 , got a good deal because I bought a 110v 6 and 9 inch grinder as well , to run off the built in generator,and got a decent discount never let me down , plug and oil change every so often would weld 3.2 rods on heavy plate all day long. i would stick with the mainstream brands Lincoln , Kemmpi , Parweld seem to be a decent machine with a decent product range.
