Hi, so I’ve just upgraded to my first gas mig welder, from a sealy mightymig, to an old taskmaster(cebora?) 160amp transformer based welder (As I’m on a budget). I should have learned about all this stuff before buying one but these mistakes are how you learn
so the torch itself works but has seen better days, the shroud the swan neck and trigger are all beaten up and need replacing. I’ve attached a photo of the hose as there is a hole in it. I’m thinking is it best to bite the bullet and Buy a decent new torch like binzel mb15 euro torch or do I buy a cheap copy/try fix the old torch if it’s still serviceable?
id also like to service the welder itself a bit before using it as its been sat a while and has a big rusty spool of wire on it, anything I should be doing bar the obvious of cleaning up the wire feeding mechanism and blowing out the cobwebs? I’d like to get it running and look after it
thanks for your help !
