Beretta28g Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/151te-turbo-mig-welder Can anyone give me any opinions on this welder. I have already got a tig and can weld with it but want something that can run weld a bit quicker. A main question would be does this use those stupid disposable gas bottles or can I use a 10ltr 300psi one like I do for tig. will be using it to weld mild and stainless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyshot Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Yes it uses the small bottles but you can run it off a large argon bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_gsxr1000 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 you have fixed voltages not current with mig you will have 6 settings so you take the max ampage take away the min ampage and divide the remainder by 6 to give you steps then you use the wire feed to run the pool hoter or cooler and its an easy convertion to convert that to a 5/8 bull nose conection machine mart sell a kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
