What are my other MIG options compared to a Portamig 215?
I've had one on order for several weeks and not getting a reply from Weldequip. Not certain what the position is and I've got money waiting for a decent welder.
Something like an ESAB OrigoMIG/Murex TradesMIG or the Lincoln equivalent. Either that or an MTA one from migtigarc which are, to all intents and purposes, the same as the Portamig units.
Murex Tradesmig every time - I know they are not cheap and they are not small but if you want a machine that has perfect wire feed with perfect smoothed current, then it has to be a Murex. I have an ancient 160 and it outperforms any other welder I've bought. Perfect welds every time even using straight CO2.
