that's the way to go, never looked back since getting a decent MIG, although I have 250 amp oil filled welder for really heavy jobs that welds all day at full amps but hardly use it now, my 190 MIG is good enough, this WE made a back boiler tank for my log burner out of 3 mm steel so I can heat the water as well, no problem, Rick

Cracking mate. Fitted a log burner for mrs mum And dad 2 yrs ago, looked into the back boiler ones, would love one myself, if u have access to combustible materials it's free heating and water.

Yip, mine cuts out if you go for a long run over 120amps. Oil cooled are best but the oil is carcinogenic I think. David.
This one blows fuses if I crank it over about 110 amps I had to buy a pack of 20 to make my sliders :D
Someone said it needs a 16 amp fuse, dunno tho never looked in to it myself was thinking about bodging a 1/4 inch bolt in the plug :lol

that is a big word, what's it mean? I do not drink it it is in a sealed metal box, just keeps my welder cool, and I do not move it about a lot either, it is far too heavy, oh and it doubles as a car start device if I have a flat battery, Rick

the literature does say it is not designed to run on a 13 amp plug, I run mine on a 20 amp spur from my genny, (I do not have mains), Rick
Really fancy a tig :naughty
Unsure if they are as versatile as a mug tho ?
I'm assuming it's a more refined version of arc welding ...
I really enjoyed making the sliders, and found the stick welding very rewarding once I started to lay down decent welds, and watching YouTube vids of tig it does look pretty damn sexy when they get them spot on :cool:

Most oils are, the main one being hydraulic oil. Carcinogenic is when something has the ability to cause cancer. Thats why you should use gloves or barrier cream before working on your trucks.

I been soaking my hands and arms in oil since 4 years old, does that mean I am at risk? also been blowing out truck brake drums with air line for over five years in the 70s and after as a builder been disc cutting cement asbestos sheets and roof tiles, so perhaps I should have mesime???? whatsit, but I do not as this asbestos rubbish is just that, almost all the type we see is crysotile (excuse spelling) which is not a cause of "mesime????, but at the end of the day I am still here and in good health and certainly do not worry about eating a bit of dirt here and there, Rick
Amen to that. As an ex mechanic turned joiner I echo those sentiments ;)

I never said "It will" cause Cancer, i said it had the ability to be able to and i also said "Most" not "All" oils.
Its Just the same as smoking could cause cancer, but many people go on to live long lives after smoking from their teenage years.
And i was only answering a question as someone asked what is was.
Keeping it :lol
Decided this is too good to sell, perfect for heavy jobs, and I need to add bits to my sliders :p
Going to get a cheaper used 100 amp mig for doing thin stuff :)

Sorry Kamsin, I do not always read posts properly and jump to conclusions, it's called age, Rick
Removed my welder from eBay but one of the watchers has just messaged me and offered me £100 for it ?!
Dunno if I should hang on to it now lol
It's a 90's German thing, might be quite collectible

you can sell at £100 and next time Aldi have them in for no money get one, you can survive in the mean time with your Mig, I have not used stick for probably a year, Rick
