maybe getting a new welder

[Bullet2012]

So following on from this thread https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/giant-magpies.85370/
I am finally getting somewhere with my insurers and will soon be in the market for a new welder, and, this one has caught my attention https://www.weldequip.com/esab-rebel.htm
So do any of you have any real looking life experience with this machine ?
Thank you

Can't help you regarding the welder, but glad you're getting sorted. Any news regarding finding who did it?

Zilch, a couple of other businesses fairly local have also been targeted, mode of entry and property removed has been very similar, so hopefully someone will get caught soon.

If you do go for one, I noticed Engweld are knocking them out at £1350 inc VAT
Mine is out on site at the moment with the site gang i use. They use it mostly for mig work on site. Can't fault it for welding up to 6mm thick ( it will do thicker, but that's about as thick as it goes using the smartmig program)
I bought the 235 model too for when we have thicker steel to weld on site. Pretty much the same, with a bit more power in reserve. I really must make time to learn myself, but been too busy of late
