Sip acknowledge there is a problem and sell a retro fit kit to brace the roller mounts which is just a piece of pressed plate but still want plenty of cash for it. Tried it with new liner in the torch and the new rollers on the feed but it didn't make much difference. Euro torch fitting would be a big improvement

I did find some stuff about tha ton mig wleding forums before hand, but one of my friends has the same machine and does a fair bit of welding, he's made 30 pairs of garage doors, a good few truck bodies and the like with it and can;t fault it so good enough for patching up the odd bit on the chipper and such like, it seemed like its an eays fix if you are bothere dby it anyway from what i read.

Ive got a Lincoln 305c, powerfull welder, IMO the type of welder you get depends on your ability at welding and setting the machine parameters up set up is massivly important to get a proper weld. . For a novice no more than an 180amp single phase 0.8wire max.

we've got 4 3 phase tigs from 180amp upto 400amp a 315amp mig a 240v 160amp mig and an old 140 amp stick set

I have Got ARC,MIG and Gas and to be honest its normally the ARC I end up using. Any welding I do is normally repair stuff, I normally use Gas for cutting and Arc for welding the MIG is great when it runs but a right pain in the rear when it starts playing up then you have the gas issue which is not to bad for me as I have an account and can get a bottle for a week and just pay for the gas. To be honest my welding isn't up to industry standard :-) but the stuff usually stays stuck with the arc welder :-)

a small mig originally bought to repair the van floor so it paid for itself over & over. now stands redundant. gas oxy/acetylene (full size and mini bottle) left me account go so when these are empty I cant see me ever using them again, great for the odd job like brazing the galvanised watering can that burst in the winter last year (galv & welding, yes I know)

All very handy when you need them but just takes up room when you dont.
