Mig vs multi-process (considering Kempact RA)
Hi all, I've fantasised about owning a Kemppi Kempact RA mig welder since I first saw them a few years ago. Probably too pricey for what they are, I just really like the upright format and integrated trolley design. It's not for everyone but it seems ideal for my workshop.
I have a couple of decent welding jobs to do at home and my old Boss mig is falling apart. I'm not sure I really want to spend 3.5k on the Kemppi but I've been thinking about it long enough and it might be about to happen.
For now, a good mig can do everything I need. In the future, it would be nice to be able to tig some stainless and aluminium (although I am yet to learn the skills).
So I guess my question is - do modern multi-process machines make decent migs, and do they make decent enough tigs for a beginner to get good results? Or should I get the mig now, and worry about tig later?
Any machines you'd recommend I look at? Needs to be single phase, under $3k. The Kemppi I'm considering is 250A max with adaptive control, it's more than I want to spend but the convenience and compactness is worth something.
