Thread: Rainbow 150

- I also have an ancient and noisy CIG Transarc on loan from forum member Franklin which I have used quiet a bit over the last few years but it gets pretty noisy.

Anyway, I came away from BILs with a Rainbow 150 on permanent loan. And just to top it all off I also got half an hour instruction and advice. Anyone know anything about these machines?

Made by CEA. So should be okay.
I have used their mig welders and they were okay.
It has auto arc force control and electrode anti stick features.

Thanks Karl. I'm looking forward to having a play with this thing. First project will be making a new welding bench.

This may help, it compares a whole bunch of inverters

Thanks - it does sound like it is a nice unit.

Thanks for the link to the pdf Warrick. I noticed the Chinese version of the BOC welder actually beat the Finland made BOC machine and the Finlandese version was almost 4 times the price. As to the rainbow machine, they are good, Bobl you got a great deal
