'Thermal arc fabricator'

Any ideas if this is worth the money? Doesn't seem to be too bad if can really do three different types of welding well and put out 210amps at 230 v!!

Very tempted...please stop me if I'm going to be making a big mistake...

has anyone bought from this company before or used a similar machine?

Cheers muchly,

Thermal arc are a good brand, thats a very good price for a multi process machine. Go for it.

one of my mates has the 175amp version, was watching him mig weld ally cheqeur plate last night. Am no expert but I think his technique was suspect; there was no evidence of a stainless wire brush having been near before welding. What little ally tigging I've done, such a brush was invaluable. his steel migging looked ok. He rates it very much.
Rapid welding: a fabricator near rates them highly.

I bought my Kemppi from them and they are quick to deliver and helpful. Next day delivery despite being from the bottom of the country to the Midlands.

I've bought a bit off stuff off Rapid welding and they seem to be pretty good.
