Tips & Shrouds
Hi
The Clarke shrouds are slightly longer than the Sip ones so you can get your tip either sticking out of the shroud or just inside and the tips are all the same.
You can see on our web site click on more details
Hi
They are £4.99 for 4 + postage or I can do you a box (50) for £49.99 inc vat and delivery.
These are good quality you can pay cheaper but you get what you pay for.

Hi
We can put on the duty cycles etc but differant manufactors use differant duty cycles so you could end up with 40% 50% etc
To work out what amp fuse rating you want a rough guide is to divide the amperage of the machine by 10 giving you 170 amp mig = 17 amps.
that is not to say you cannot...
If you have a 4 1/2" grinder I can get you some very thin cutting discs (called slashers) which are only 1mm thick and are for stainless steel so they cut steel like a hot knife through butter.
These will only cut your pencil line giving you a better start on your welding.
PS These are brill...
The tests where carried out by one of their own people who has now left and I cannot speak for other companies but we where approached by them and we dont advertise in that mag but on the internet for our own web site.(clicl on welduk.com and go to my home page )

Hi
I can get you 1.6mm 309 tig rods in a couple of days but I have 1.6mm 316 in stock which is the best grade around.
This grade is used for stainless steel in the food industry
Hi
We sent the ERP machine in and it was tested over several months.
I know the people who tested it and what they tested it on but they have got a few things wrong
1 The butters that won it is not £279 but we sell it for £317 List price £475
2 They never put our web site in the arcticle or...
Hi
To work out the genny size it is
Open circuit voltage X Amps + 10% = KVA Generator
e.g.
130amp sip mig has an open circuit voltage of 18 - 34
130 x 34 + 10% = 4.86KVA
Have you thought about an invertor (GYS made in France) these can be run of a gen with + or - 15%

Hi
Throw away your wire and replace the black plastic liner the lastest SIP migs have a steel liner. you might also think about turning your top tension roller around and give it a clean with some emery cloth

Hi
You want up to a 130 amp to run off a 13 amp plug anything higher and you will need a 16 amp +
These 130 amp machines will weld all day with 2.5mm rods and even use 3.2mm rods but if you are going for a tig welder / inverter you want a high frequency type. Dont forget if you use a tig welder...
