Im involved in a new business venture beginning to break land rovers at work now and am getting through 4-5 a week at present and selling through ebay and other channels and its taking off.
We primarily break Discoveries and have the oportunity to buy some damaged repairables.
I have been repairing the front innner wings on a 1995 V8 today and have been struggling with wire feed on my own SIP 180.
I have a metal liner kit installed and its really quite poor on the lower settings used fot bodywork and repair plate.
The settings a re quite limited due to the style of the machine and in addition to this it's MY home machine and i dont want it being worn out at work.
The machine seems to pulse the wire and is more pronounced when the torch is inverted when im welding upside down.
I can weld relatively well on vertical surfaces but its really beginning to annoy me when welding upside down.............i know practice practice practice but im sure my machine is not helping matters.
The machine will not see heavy prolonged use but it will see a couple of outings a month and be in use for a couple of days per outing.
What machine would you guys reccommend for such applications?
Damn rotten disco's, if only they rotted on vertical bits only i would be fine!
Any info greatly recieved
Colin
