Hi all, I have been considering for some time to buy a DC inverter welder. I have only ever owned very old AC arc welders and don't plan on getting rid of my goodwell Aussie made anytime soon. But some Time ago I had the luxury of using a small DC inverter welder with low hydrogen electrodes. It was beautiful while my AC welder struggled to star t and maintain an arc.

So why make things harder than they need to be?! I don't Want to spend a fortune but looking around I should be able to get a half decent welder for less than $500.

I have been looking at unimig razorweld 180.

I was also looking at tokentools miniarc 200 STL which looks very impressive with a 5 year warranty and the best duty cycle I have seen in a welder for under $500. It was on special for $379 but they are out of stock and will be replacing it with a much more expensive model. Their cheapest machine is now over $700 and so out of my price point, sadly.

Any other suggestions?

I'm thinking the razorweld 180 with a 3 year warranty for $329 is my best bet so far. Happy to pay a little more if it means a better machine.

Simon
