which mig?? oxford, portamig, swp, murex...
Hi all,
I am after a new mig welder for use on body work, roll cages and winch trays, so in short between 0.8 steel to around 8mm.
I have been looking at either and oxford 270 or a portamig 235.
I believe they are made by the same people so I presume the build quality would be good in both.
Duty cycles are evenly match to a point the oxford being slightly better, however not greatly.
The only differences I can see is the pm235 has the lower 15 amp minimum but the oxford has a higher top end output of 270 amps.
I know the portamigs have got fantastic reviews on here however just looking to compare.
Does anyone have any other machines in a similar range that you could suggest? Or even better has anyone got experience with the portamig v's the oxford...?
Any help would be great.
