Here is my new welder, looks good. Comes set up for glassless but can be converted to gass operation, just needs the regulator. The pipe is poking out the back ready to be used. The earth lead could be doing with being a bit longer and the clamp stronger, may look at a possible replacement for that.
The lead to the torch is very nice and flexible with a good length, could use it with ease with the welder on the floor welding my tests on a bench. Didn't feel it was restricting my movement as I've found with the cheap old welder I have.
The welder is quite heavy don't know if that is a bad thing, could have done with a few little tabs for winding the power lead around for storage.
But the real star is the £60 mask with it's auto tint. The amount of tint is adjustable, it really is good, get one, you're not regret it.
Comes with some flux wire and spare ends and a very rubbish (now in bin) mask.
The wire feed has the groove size stamped on the side with is good to see. Apparently some don't.
My first welds, I found the wire speed adjust very good for controlling the weld.
And from the back, not sure why by review sites show this.
When I cut the rust out of the car I'm going to test welds onto the rust just out of interest.
