Cebora Tri-star1635

Never got round to testing the sample machine as it was sold as soon as it came in!
To be perfectly honest, I was disapointed in the wire feed assembly. It uses the same, plastic assembly as on the basic 160/180 amp machines. I dare say it performs excellently though & I would have much more confidence in one as a Sealey alternative for example. It goes down to 15amps on the bottom setting, which should be outstanding on thin sheet & has all the factory pre-set programmes for MIG Brazing, Aluminium etc.
If it's MIG brazing you specifically want it for take a look at the 2035/M model. That has an awesome wire feed assembly & Insurance company approvals from most of the major car manufacturers.

Hi thanks for the reply
I dont need it a new welder for specifically mig brazing as i have not really came across that many vehicles requiring this as we are only a small shop.
But it would be handy to have one if the occasion arose, does the wire feed on the TRI-STAR1635 have a spool on the gun assy or does it run from elsewhere.
I like the look of the 2035/M model but it is a little pricy for me the 1635 is more in my price range i have also seen this mig http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MIG-welder-co...8931QQcategoryZ113743QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
not inverter but can mig braze and conventual mig welding good price, but is it any good ??, useally double the price when purchasing from power tec

Can't place the manufacturer on that Power-Tec, probably a cheap far eastern import at suitably inflated garage trade prices! You fellas pay through the nose for welders from Snap-On & the likes! To be totally suitable for MIG brazing you need to know the amps/volts setting. For this you need a factory set programme and/or a digital meter so you can set the required, critical amps. You can't achieve that accurately from a conventional 'step-controlled' machine; what amps does setting 1 give? & what will it be on setting 3? - you don't accuratley know unless you have a factory stored programme or a digital meter showing the amps.
I suppose they may provide a table showing what each settings output is but without that you are working 'blind', too much heat & you destroy the strength properties of the material & too little heat = S*** weld!
