3 phase mig for panel work?
Greetings
I have picked up an old WIA 300amp 3phase machine which I will use for my heavier fabrication jobs and farm equipment repairs.
I have been told these machines can be better light work machines than small single phase welders as they can go very low and are smoother. Is this correct?
Can you set up the wire feeder for 0.6mm wire? Are these old machines worth spending money on?
I have a Bernard gun and Tweco adaptor or could easily drop a Euro gun on it with a small liner. Might have to make 0.6mm rollers though? The wire feeder is driven by both rollers so maybe that is a plus.
I'm hopeful but sceptical as I don't believe these machines were ever designed for light work.
Thanks in advance Craig
