I have one of these. I can't fault it for general repairs.

I would advise a separate 16amp supply though & if you can access your fuze board to do this work you will have the best possible source of power too.

They are a good unit only limited by the scratch start. Do you need high frequency start?

 

Probably not unless you are doing things that are on show i.e. reception counters etc.

 

I have used one of these and find them very good. This is a D.C. unit and so is far smoother than the older A.C. sets and easier to operate.

 

Far better with one of these than the older units although the Oxford oil filled units do last forever.

 

I have an Rtech 200 amp ac/dc unit at home although I don't use it for stick (mma) as I have a separate Oxford one for that.

 

Give us some idea of what you are going to do with it and I might be able to advise further?

i think the parweld ones look pretty good, had a quick go on one a lot smoother than my old a/c box that unfortunately just keeps going( cant justify new one!)

and if you havent already got an automatic welding shield, then id get one as there brilliant, and make learning a lot easier.

got a little oxford here, not 100% sure but I think it can be run on 240v and 3 phase, was going to put it on the bay.

 

I would like 90 nicker for it, as that's what I paid for it.

 

will drag it out and check the voltage tomorrow, got some decent sized long leads with it aswell.
