Hello all,
Firstly thanks for the forum, there is lots of usefull stuff here.
I'm in the market for a new MIG, and am narrowing down my options. I've been in cotant with weldequip (thanks for getting back to me so quickly) about the highly regarded Portamigs.
I've found the Butters 181 unit cheaper than the Portamig 185, and it seems to have higher duty cycle. The only obvious downside of the Butters is that minimum current is 30A not 20A.
Has anybody had the two units back to back, and tested them? I'm guseesing, from previous posts, that the difference is build quality?
