Paton StandardMig 200 or Bohler Uranos 2000?

[GarageGrouch]

Hi chaps, after struggling for months with a little Draper gasless mig I've decided it's time to get a proper welder. I was pretty much set on the Paton but I've just seen the special price of the Bohler on WSD and I'm pretty tempted.

As a newbie the synergic functions on the Bohler look really handy and I believe it uses a Eurotorch connection for TIG so it can use the solenoid in the machine, whereas on the Paton I'd need a valved torch. Are there any other major differences I've missed?

I didn't really want to spend more than a grand but if there's a big difference in quality then I'd rather buy once, cry once.

If anyone has any input I'd appreciate it.

Whilst the Paton’s are outstanding machines, the Bohler Uranos range is world class. 0% failure rate (from our customers), some of the best technical specs in its class and a very nice welding arc make it the recommend choice from me, providing its within budget.

Well the budget might have to include a pair of shoes to distract the missus and a crash helmet if the shoes fail

Does it come with the mig torch, electrode holder and earth lead?

I’d say that’s a fair deal

Mig torch and earth lead yes, electrode holder isn’t included as standard.

Do you know how long that offer is on for? I think I'm gonna have to sell some toys to raise the cash. I just read that it has PFC so that's sold it for me

For as long as our stocks last, I think we've got around 9 or 10 of them left.
