The multi process machines are good and have there uses. I have the oerlikon 200 mp .
I mig with it. Then swap to stick depending on the job. But as said....if one of the processes goes down then so does the whole unit. My machine stopped working in the middle of a job. Completely dead..had it sent off . The main board had fried a circuit thus making making the unit scrap. It was replaced under warranty. I still have the machine but don't really use it now. I will be going separate units.
Yes. There rods are very good. I kind of lost faith with the machines. Had two go down.Oerlikon make great consumables, but they rebrand a lot of their lower end machines unfortunately.
