I received a post from "Premier Welding" advertising a Miller ST1203 240 Volt for ,wait for it, £1182.00. Now it has been a long time since I bought a welder but is this really the cost of them now?
About the same price as any of the big names, lorch, ewm, etc.
Fronius are probably more expensive, esab cheaper...
Lots of cheaper options available if you need one.
Those miller's will run 30m long output leads though if you need to be up the side of a barn with them.
Probably overkill if you just want to weld up some shelves in your shed...
