Hi all
has anyone used one of these machines just looking for honest feedback on this model as looking to replace 10 plants end of the year.
been with a certain German brand now for 15 plus years and looking to see what is out there.

Kemppi, some love them. Never had much joy with anything but the miniarc myself.

Burnt out one of their RA compact units many years ago, had a pal with an MLS tig set, that blew a board, whole new control panel at considerable expense. They were well behind the curve with the pulse migs till a few years back.

Always used to be kemppi in the shipyards with the super snake.

I've got a number of lorch machines getting on now with no issues.

If you've had good success with what you're using why change to a different colour?

Kemppi are pushing a lot of money into marketing and so are their distributors on social media at the minute, don't buy into something just because of the hype, that's a quick way to be crying. usually a few months after machine is out of warranty.
