It`s often found that best results are achieved with a 'Hello everyone,I`m new here.....and this is a little bit about me'.

if you need to ask then i suggest you to need to give more information as to what you want to weld how thick is the material and i will happily say what type of machine as in soft start, slope in, slope out,crater fill.look forward to more info

Welcome TT. Whilst there are some welding experts on here, but also have a look at some specialised welding sites such as these.......

cheers lads,i have a little sureweld inverter 161ac/dc with square wave and balance control plus slope up and slope downbut find it a bit light for doing long runs of weld,im welding 2.5 to 6mm aluminum and stainless,looking for somthing heavier(200 to 250A)with water cooled torch

Millers are one of the best

I worked with a murex tradetig 350 for years and the abuse it got was unreal. It was used day and night and gave very little bother (high frequency mostely) so i would not hesitate in recomending any of there products

murex would be my prefered choice but dont think they do anything heavy enough for a supply voltage of 230.miller do awider range of ac/dc machines,still open for more suggestions

 

[billy56]

what are you going to use it for, is it only ocasional or high usage. I have used other types of machine and thru experience they were troublesome, mind you they were used often in harsh conditions. I also have a murex tradesmig since 1989 at home and its used quite a bit and has,nt given a bit of bother since i,ve had it. Billy

mostly used for welding aluminum,the lengths of weld is approx 10m.the mags process is not acceptable,
