I think they have been around for quite a few years..mainly hiring stuff out.......i'm sure a lincoln 305 i used to use in a quarry was from them.

I understand they've owned genset for a few years....just found that they were "genset" and used to make them...maybe still do?

Thanks wyn , anyone els with any info on them ?? Don't want to send payment until I'm 100 percent sure !

 

[Vmac]

??? Any info cheers !

They are fine, you won't have a problem. I suspect they don't like PayPal as its too easy for them to get scammed. Remember, they don't know YOU either.

Cheers jim , I sent them an email yesterday , telling them the situation regards only paying through paypal .. as a family member recently lost six grand , so I want to be sure , ebay told me to refuse the deal if they wouldn't exept paypal , and I suspect they don't want to pay ebay,s fee either. But they just went quiet when I insisted on covering my ass " with paypal ! Haven't replied to emails since ?

Jim Davey ' a quick question ' does the same maths formula apply to working out the size of generator , for running a 3 phase welder as it does with a single phase plant?? and if so what amps 3 phase suitcase mig could a 15 KVH - 400 amps Genset comfortably run ?? Regards Mark .

 

[Jim Davey]

Google Kva to amps, a really handy table will come up in the list headed "rapid tables".

I use them all the time, very useful tool a smartphone.

I'll tell ya what jim Davey " your a star ' thanks for that , I will be looking that one up on google !! Just looking at the GenSet's on MHM 's ebay site trying to convince my self to go for the expensive one with 110 , and 10 Kvh of single phase as well as 400 amps 3 phase but it's another couple of grand more ?

 

[Jim Davey]

Are you after a generator only or a welder/generator?

 

[Vmac]

[Vmac]

Welder generator ' jim , would cover the lot then , even does dc lift tig , apparently , and a suitcase 300 / mig and that should cover all I need .

 

[Jim Davey]

You'll have the lot then, is the welder CC/CV?

 

[Vmac]

Not sure jim ' is it something I need to ask ?? Cheers for your help very much a appreciated .

 

[Jim Davey]

Constant curren (CC) is for stick, Constant Voltage (CV) is for mig.
You can run a wire feeder off a welder with CC output only, but they weld miles better if you can get one with a switchable CV output.

 

[Vmac]

Cheers jim will find out today ! Thanks once again !

 

[Jim Davey]

No problem

 

[Vmac]

Thanks fuzzy ' I'm debit cards unfortunately . Got an email from Mat today jim Davey , the machine I put my name to is CC , but I've sent an email today asking if any of the GenSet's they have are Constant voltage regulation & CV ' if they have one I will try n strike a deal tomorrow ! Something tells me CVR is going to cost me !

 

[Vmac]

What about if I get there bank details , surely before the bank transfers the money they can check it's MHM , s account ???

 

[Jim Davey]

You are fine with MHM, I've dealt with them with no issues.
