I believe it's a good all-rounder. Have a look at this - it's the manual...

There is a forum member who recently bought (an almost identical) one and posted pics of some very fine welds on thin sheet. Use the search function - migatronic 185x - should do. Dunno about price. A coupla hundred? 250? The lincoln is overpriced at £400, if it's the one i'm thinking of (only my opinion!)

hi simon,

cant get to look at the specs for the migatronic it wont let me in?,so in your opinion good or bad buy?,been looking for a good welder for about 2 months now at a reasonable price,if they perform as good as a 3 phase migatronic (as that's what i'm used too) it will be a good machine?,

many thanks,

paulie.
