Thread: transmig 150c

I take it you're talking about a 250 as you state in your post, not a 150 as in your thread title?

Mate has a 250 that he has been getting a few years on now and it has been a good reliable machine

For a $1k, I'd be grabbing it as long as it comes with full warranty and is transferable.

yes it is the 250c

no warrinty.

buying form an old bloke thats cleaning out his workshop.

its still int eh box it came in with a roll of wire and a welders helmet.

he got it on insurance after his shed was burgled.

a great machine..dont quote me but i think there is only one other in the range that is bigger on single phase. 270 or 275 i think. you can do almost anything with that provided the power stays up to it. i have welded alot of alloy with this same model machine... the only better that i have used is the essab. at that price it is a steal. the 15 kg wire rolles are cheeper to by as well. this size machine is better with gas..not to say you cant use gassless wire though. i found the bigger welders "240 and above " work nicer with the 0.8 wire expecilly when you have the grunt to push it. it will also weld thin plate as well dont worry. i think your on a winner.

In that case, grab it. It is a good machine, as I said, a mate has one and it welds very nicely.

Only reason I mention to get it warranty is if it was brand new and from a shop, then make sure you get it, but if from someone who is clearing out their workshop, well different story.

thanks ill grab it.

will replace the old 3 phase lincon arc welder brick of a welder i have now.

What's wrong with the Lincoln welder apart from being a stick? There are usually very reliable and built like a brick shyte house.

nothings rong with it.

you cant break them can u.

just its a stick welder an i wanta mig and this one is cheep.

the lincon wont be going anyware.

Fair enough, so you should have said the new MIG will compliment the old Lincoln

yep thats it.

iv also got a huge mobile lincon welder/generator thats run of a 25hp deisel engine. its on a trailer good for when i ned to do emergancy repairs on teh dozer. it never breaks down near 3 phase power.
