The latest inverter based welders are much, much lighter than the conventional 'huge transformer' ones. Course, I don't know about the quality of this one. |

Just had a quick look, you can get about 10Kg through RM for a tenner. -- SJW Please reply to group or use 'usenet' in email subject |

I am a welder and have had an Engineering / welding business for 26 years. I have used these machines and they will burn a 3.25 rod with ease. Battery charger my Aunts aching arse !! does pee me off when ignorant know nothings talk absolute tripe. This is a welding transformer 230v~50Hz, A140, 4kva on 80a It's most salient point is it's size! It's the smallest good quality welding transformer I have ever seen. For works outside the workshops we have and use numerous other models of welding transformer (SIP, Clarke etc), and also a very good quality welding inverter which is very light but also at least ten times the price of a welding transformer.

I have used these machines and they will burn a 3.25 rod with ease. You suggest they are some use on a car. For what? Everyone uses - or tries to use ;-) a MIG these days.

Why are you interested in buying, or just giving out negative carping yowl? You suggest they are some use on a car. For what? Everyone uses - or tries to use ;-) a MIG these days. Really! Who's everyone? Of course they are of use on cars or any other welding application for that matter. It just depends whether the user is an experienced welder used to working with sheet steel or not. I have personally put down miles of arc work on everykind of vehicle you can think of. Battery charger my Aunts aching arse !! does pee me off when ignorant know nothings talk absolute tripe.

Ah...............run out of negative carping Yowl so nitpick the typos / punctuation. It's the smallest good quality welding transformer I have ever seen.

But who would by goods from a spammer? I feel I must stoop to your level by saying that: Anyone would BUY this if they felt it was a handy compact and good quality welding Transformer as I assure them it is. Especially if they felt that this was a great boys Toys piece of Xmas kit at a very cheap price. MBS |
