Hi Guys, just joined today and hope to get some help.
My trusty gas MIG Butters MC303P has died today. I bought it second-hand six years ago and it had been pretty well-used but it's worked like a Trojan since I got it and I am checking out all the industrial catalogues, trying to decide what to replace it with.
Sadly, the equivalent machines seem to be retailing for around £1,700 and I was hoping to get something for around £800! I own a small wrought ironwork / steel fabs business so whatever I buy will have to work for a living, sometimes welding for up to 5 hours a day but I also don't want to spend a fortune. I need a MIG with a minimum of 250 amps and am used to using Ferromaxx gas bottles as I could never get the hang of those regulators!
Any ideas or recommendations gratefully received...
