Hi Chaps and Chapesses,
I have been trawling this Forum for a month now and like what I see; so here I am with a what to buy question; I hope in the longer term I can repay you all with useful replies but I'll only do that if I really know what I am talking about.
I am familiar with using a few different machines of differing levels i.e. SIP 150 Turbo, Murex Tradesmig 245 (different league machine to say the least). I Sold the SIP and the 245 is my friends machine.
I also bought a TIGMIG TIG machine to use to make a Stainless Exhaust Manifold and Stainless Roll Cage.
Mig wins for me after using the TIG machine especially when tacking in tricky positions. I now want to buy a better quality MIG for my garage.
At present my untested considerations are Lincoln 161c, Kemppi Minarc Adaptive 150 Mig or Portamig; in my view a fair chance that one of these will be better than the other; they are all in the same price range.
I do not need much portability but the Kemppi is very portable.
What is the best deal you can offer please Mr Weldquip for a Portamig (Price EXCLUDING VAT and Delivery) i.e. I collect and need a VAT receipt. Your comments regarding my choice of these welders would also be very welcome too please. Also how can I have a test drive of the Portamig? Can I come to you with bits of test meterial?
Thanks
