    Default Nuweld Powermig 175

    Has anyone used this welder?
    What are the guts of it like?
    Deals Direct are selling it for 650, seems like a bit of a bargain since united tools are selling the same one for 725.

    Hi,

    It is a transformer machine with 6 power settings, a built in non removable MIG torch and a jumper cable for an earth clamp. If you dig into it you will find a 10% duty cycle at 175 amps and a plastic geared wire feeder encased in black plastic with a small 20mm feed roller. The same are sold on ebay with orange paint jobs at 195 amps for $299 delivered to your door. Deals direct is a clearance house and clears stock for organisations that need to get rid of stuff . Nu weld is distributed by JW Ross. I hope this helps you.

    Thanks for that mate, sounds like one to stay away from!

    Only reason I was asking about them besides Deals Direct is that all the gear my local hardware store stocks is NuWeld welders.

    I believe Mitre 10 is one of their distributors. At least with Nuweld via Mitre 10 you will be looked after in the event of warranty. I had an issue with an Icon brand drill and I must say I was well looked after by the team at Mitre 10.

    Regards
