Great machines, unfortunately they have shot up in price in recent years as at one point they represented amazing value for money.
I have a client with a 400 and a 500 amp multiprocess Pulse mig/AC/DC tig for sale if you’re interested? (Not looking to get involved in the sale but I’d happily put...
The new Picomig 220 puls raises the bar significantly for small 230v pulse migs.
Not as feature packed as the GYS Neopulse 220 but better drive system and arguably tougher with better build quality.
(I own and operate and service both so am qualified to comment)
I sell an SSC pedal ready to go, with all the correct wiring already done by us in-house so it works without issue (SSC does not offer an off-the-shelf pedal to fit EWM so I buy a 10K ohm standard pedal and modify it.) Several people have contacted me in the past with issues encountered when...
It’s called a Periodic Inspection & Safety Test Report BS EN IEC 60974-4:2016
It is a very comprehensive test, not unlike a portable appliance test in that it comprises multiple tests both visual, mechanical and electrical but it is tailored specifically for electric arc equipment and requires...
Be careful how you clean up the plunger. I scratched mine badly trying to remove solder from it and now I’ve given the solder something to ‘key’ into making it even harder to remove. Had to buy a new one in the end but it’s a big standard RS jobby and it works fine for me.
I have a smaller one...
The X-Trac has a bit of a reputation for being a bit bouncy when the arm is at full extension potentially leading to slightly wobbly edge cuts, especially when it’s travelling diagonally at the same time.
They may have sorted it now but as the old ESAB crossbow suffered from it I’d expect the...
On metal this thin I'd be tempted to recommend the use of a copper or failing that a stainless backing strip and clamping the plate down to it to help reduce burn through and distortion. If you have a pulse mig already you can reduce the heat input further still by swapping to a double pulse...
I think the reply you're looking for is "Thanks Matt, if all else fails I'll give them a go. In the meantime I'd like to try and fix this myself if I can".
Like others have said. Great welder, truly class leading features for a single phase pulse mig. Slightly let down by the flimsy casing which despite the lightweight panels the set manages to be a hefty chunk. Even harder to carry once it’s got a 15 kilo spool mounted in it. I’d recommend a...
