New Welder

Yes I believe Al is a Real welder, and I am also a Real welder, obviously your NOT!!

Qualified? Willing to guarantee work carried out? Warranty on work performed? I would like to see that FC....hahahahhahahahaha

All the above, obviously your NOT!!

Like a broken record...like a broken record

I would love to see "All the above" in writing FC

G'day fatboy,

Hope you don't mind if this mug asks you a question. Basically looking at upgrading my old arc welder (been using it for lots of years) been thinking of a mig (versatility, cleaner welds etc) but just reading these post opened up another option, looked up the eutectic and I like what I saw. I know its not a mig but it seems a great lightweight unit. I noticed it has a max power requirement @ 100% of 3.8 KVA, do you think it would do basic welding from a 2 KVA genie? I also have the option to link 2 x 2KVA to give me 4.

Just like the notion of taking it with me when I travel.

Kind regards

Hi beatit , sorry for the lack of reply have not been close to the computer, I am not rael sure but I think you will find the welder won't run at all of the 2 kva , we have had power supply problems here in Mt Isa and have not been getting the full voltage to our building and had all sorts of problems with all of our electronically controlled welders, I would personally only buy a mig welder if you can run 3 phase power or you are only wanting to weld very light steel as all of the smaller migs I have used only ran .6 wire which is probably equivalent to a 2mm or maybe a 1.6 mm rod and I was not real im[pressed with the gasless wires , Have seen them used in a line borer I.D welder and while they produced a neat enough weld I don't think it got the penetration needed for any type of structural welding. Hope this helps

Thanks heaps, don't have 3 phase so looks like I will be getting the eutectic.

Kind regards
