Yep me also,
Spoke to Justin who very quickly setup an account for me, he then found my nearest branch and called them and arranged everything, all I had to do was pitch up and collect the bottle.
BOC Y size bottle (same height but fatter than the regular) 39kg filled to 230 bar, so more gas...
Thanks for all the feedback guys.
The feed mech on the 200 does look good but I've just downloaded the brochure for the 160 and unfortunately it looks more like the one on a Clarke machine, maybe this is where they kept the cost down, I've tried to attach a pic so you should be able to see it...
Just a point to mention but we need to keep it to comparing like with like.
As George mentions above the R Tech is 395 were as the Portamig is 545.
That maybe the same ball park to you guys who are used to spending a lot more on a machine but the Portamig is actually over 25% more expensive...
Hi Graham,
Thanks for your response.
I wouldn't say there is a particular reason why I do want these features, more it's a case of if they are available in the price range why not have them?
As long as you aren't losing something else of course, everything else being equal then, variable...
I see there has been some discussion on here about R-Tech but there doesn't seem to be any actual feedback from an owner.
I know there's also a lot of suspicion about Chinese made welders, but lets face it, what isn't made in China nowadays? even half the people who say they manufacture in the...
Hi,
Does anyone know anything about R-Tech Welding & in particular the R-TECH INV160?
Quick look at the spec and it offers a Euro torch and variable control of power with digital read outs for voltage & amps/wire speed as well as arc force control.
Direct from them the price is listed at...
Hi all,
I've been looking for a new mig and was coming around to the idea of the Clarke 150/160 but have just been offered a ESAB C140 for a similar price.
Anyone got any experience or knowledge of this model?
I know ESAB are a top make but wondered if this was a model they may have bought in...
Hi all,
Anyone have any info on a non rent Argon mix supplier in Lincolnshire?
Delivery or collection doesn't matter but don't really want to pay a load of money for renting a cylinder that is just sat there for most of the time.
Cheers

Thanks Peter,
although I see now that the questions been asked a few times in the past.
Looks like the 150 is the one I'll be going for, though not sure if it's worth spending the extra on the 160 and going with the big bottles.
How long do those little bottles last on sheet metal work...
Hi all,
New on here and wanted to know whats the difference between these 2 models.
I used to use a 150 years ago and thouhgt it was pretty good for car body work etc.
Is the 151TE just a repackaged version? I have seen places that are still selling the 150 hence my confusion.
Anyone any...
