Telwin Telmig 200/2 - How is it?

[Hrafnkell]

Hi everyone!

I´m thinking about buying the Telwin Telmig 200/2 migwelder, does anyone know how this machine or any Telwin weldingmachine for that matter have been doing it? I´m going to use it mostly for car bodys welding and thin steel materials but would also like to be able to use it for thicker materials.

I don´t live in UK (I live in Iceland) and I´ve heard that Telwin welders are sold under the Sealey name in UK, is this true? If so which Sealey machine is equivalent to Telwin Telmig 200/2?

If Sealey welders are not related to Telwin, how is the Sealey welders´s reputation?

Do you recommend some other MIG-welder in the same prize range or lower than the Telwin Telmig 200/2 which is better for car body welding than the Telmig?

This welder will (almost) only be used as a hobbywelder.

Thank you very much for your answers everybody

Best regards

HH

2nd hand experience, but I'd rather go for a 3 ph Esab 170 A for example. A friend of mine had an oldold proffesional grade 180 A welder, I don't remember wich one, worked but looked like it had been run over by a bus a few times. Bought a Telwin 183 and was quite disappointed, spluttered and kind of tired even for ordinary steel sheet metal work. Only my 2 cents, perhaps there are other with 1st hand experience.
