Hi there I'm new to the forum, but it looks like an interesting site.
I'm currently on an ABC level 1 welding course to learn a bit more about the art of welding & it's various guises, I have MIG welded before but want to understand the other processes as well.
I've had my hobby welder for a couple of years now, I've only got through a few kilo's of wire to date, and the torch on my SIP migmate 130T is what I would call knackered.
I've had to recut the thread in the torch for the tip and in general it just seems to not work as it should, however believe it or not, i've not had a problem with the wire feed yet...(touch wood).
However there's lots of talk about the euro torch design & I just wondered what the real world difference is?
Are they made better than my rubbish torch, and where / how can I convert my setup to take it. I've also got my hands on a pub gas bottle so need to convert the silly push on pipe to a regulator system of some kind any suggestions?
Am I better off buying a new torch setup & regular for my current welder or selling it and getting something better?
Cheers for the help.
