I bought this item some time ago in a job lot with some other stuff.
It was connected up to a battered old Clarke buzz box.
Amazingly it works! Managed to run some very nice looking welds on a piece of 2mm aluminium. My guess is it deserves better (the Clarke unit was stuck at one setting). This item, made in Rothwell, claims to be rated at 300A continuous current(!) and so is probably a very high quality item. It weighs a ton!
Thing is, other than the label, I have been unable to find any information on it.
I am wondering if I should team it up with a decent unit to make a powerful TiG welding system and what sort of system I should build. Or maybe let it go as-is to someone who knows how to use it. I have recently acquired a really nice AC/DC TiG so it is no longer required.
My guess is you could team it up with a DC water cooled TiG to make a really decent AC welding system.
Anyone know anything about this HFU, where you would typically use it and crucially, if it's any good?
