I remember asking for a Lathes section a few years ago and got knocked back... they get more posts than welding on a good dayA new section for a machine I've never seen discussed on here? No chance!
No new sections for brands unless there's a particular amount of threads about them, sorry.

Might I respond with a few thoughts on that, if I may...
- There's at least three of us on the forum with Paton machines - I'm sure there has to be more in the UK?!
- Adding a Paton sub-forum can only attract more discussion on them, attract members from further afield - and some may even contribute to forum running costs?

If and when there's a significant amount of threads I'll reconsider adding it to an existing subsection, but at the moment it's a definite no as there are other brands that would probably warrant their own section before Paton.

Yet a senior mod says only 3 mentions of one thing and it should be a must
I think there should be an electric golf buggy forum for fat bald blokes that wear running shoes
Saves the repeated durge of waffle of how they will single handily save the planet
Give my best to swampy when you see him

What about a section for 'other makes'?

It's excellent - I have two feeders for it now, my suitcase feeder with a 4 roll drive system that us currently being used to build a digger bucket with 1.2mm dual shield & a modified cebora JawFeed that I usually leave setup with CuSi3 for bodywork.
They really are an excellent little power source, and the newer ones with the improved mechanical design and LCD screen look to be even better.

I have an early VDI-250P, with the red LED display, not the later LCD display variant. The VDI does not have a power supply for an external feeder, you need a PSI for that. My feeders are 110v

No, they have 2 poles of the 4 pole connector wired up for mig control. You can either jumper these and use a feeder with a contactor, or run a control cable back to your feeder and use the feeder trigger output to switch the power source on/off.
If you jumpered the connector then you could use a arc-voltage powered feeder if you wanted, LN25 etc
