FA: small mig welder, Los Angeles area
here's the link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3871031308 this is a lot better than the harbor freight units, but it's not up to professional standards. Local pickup is OK, will consider trades also, I suppose. -- Bill to Email me, repair this address and use it: william_ b_ noble at msn dot com also check out http://www.wbnoble.com |

"william_b_noble" wrote(clip) this is a lot better than the harbor freight units,(clip) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Bill, I paid over $400 for a Lincoln unit a lot like this--looks like a bargain. Incidentally, I use mine without gas, with fluxcore wire, for two reasons: a.) For portability, I like not having to drag a cylinder with me. b.) Fluxcore (gasless) welding can be done even outdoors in a breeze. |

Hey, I had that exact welder! Mine was made in Italy, of all places.
You can imagine my relief when it didn't say "Made in PRC." |

It needed the wire feed mechanism fixed and I cobbled one together from scrap around the shop. for the hour or so I've spent using it it's worked fine. The gun has a gas valve built into it, and I think I might use the gun on another mig welder, a Lincoln WeldPak 100. Flux core works great, but it can be a pain to clean up. There certainly doesn't seem to be too much that can go wrong with the PowerMig 100, as it basicly just a transformer. If any one is interested, there's a couple of pictures on my site, at: http://members.cox.net/jeffpolaski/. CLick on Welders, then pictures. I Need to update the pictures if the WeldPak 100. It works now--I've a cheap Chinese spoolgun. |
