Hi there,
As explained on the introduction thread, I am looking for a nice MIG welder.
I already own a TIG welder, and I would like something for more heavy duty fabrication work. I have many projects for my truck involving welding, and it would be a great addition to our workshop.
I don't know much about MIG welding so I'm sorry for the silly questions :
- is a external feeder a great improvement over an internal one ?
- I am looking to weld thick stuff, and I will also be working on aluminium at some stage, I was under the impression that about 250 to 300 amps would do the trick for me ? Does the torch need to be watercooled for that range of amps ?
- how useful is the pulse feature that we can find on modern welders ?
We have 3 phase power at the workshop that I'm already using for my plasma cutter, so no limitations here ( we have 3x400V / 63 A available ).
I came across the Neopulse 320C from GYS as being a mid-level welder, any good ?
Cheers,
Vincent.
