Im looking for a welder just for hobby welding i did have a 140 amp welder but was under powered was thinking about getting around a 200amp welder. im looking to spend around £400 can any 1 give me some recomedations on what they would buy
im after a mig welder. I dont supose I will ever weld more than 6mm thick, the welder i keep looking at is the sealey mighty mig 210
does anyone no the difference between the super mig and the mighty mig
The Sealey has a bit more output at the top end, but the link doesn't seem to specify what is the minimum amperage output. This needs to be 30 amps or less on a m/c like this; can be a bit higher on a professional machine.
The SWP does state 30-190 amps, even if there is a poorish duty cycle at the top end.
Both will need a 16 or 20 amp 240v supply if you are using them above about 150 amps.
Have used Sealey and, apart from some feed problems, found them a reasonable machine, but tend to be a bit hot at the bottom settings - ours only went down to 35 amps, so a bit tricky on car bodywork at times.
Have not used SWP, but the company used to have a decent rep at one time; perhaps others can advise on this.
