Evening chaps, just thought i would wrap this up, and thank all members and moderators for your advice in purchasing the right machine.... i think i took everything on board what was advised and went for an old, sturdy, reliable machine...
if i hadnt registered to this sight i would have bought something new, probably rubbish, chosen the wrong size wire, had an exteria wire feed, and be wasting loads of gas... probably binned my mask too,...
ive had another play today doing some farmer bodging, and she was running a treat,... the machine ive ended up with has exceeded my expectations up to now and im really pleased with it... for those that were following this tread, ill get some pics up on here when the sticker kit arrives.... cheers
cool, if its the one i think it is, it will be the one i was originally quoted for.... an ESAB 315 LAG... i drove down there to buy that one, but the side pannels hadnt come back from the powder coaters... it will be done up really nice when you get it with a new feeder unit i expect... out of interest, the stickers for yours and the one i ended up bringing home were on the same order, have u got to wait for them or have they arrived now... if arrived ive some chasing up to do...
Still waiting for the machine, the powdercoaters were having some problems with their shotblaster and that's holding the machine up. Unfortunately that's meant a 60 mile round trip for me to loan my intended customer for the ESAB one of my machines but he's one of my biggest is t's so got to try and keep him sweet.
