It seems my welders are breeding.

Some weeks ago at an online auction I bid on and won a Miller Thunderbolt 300 amp AC stick welder. It is a welder that is single phase, but is 240V or 415V input. It also came with a heap of welding rods and I have found I like 7014 rods. It will probably get converted to running a lathe, as I can input 240V and tap 415V off it, then use that to run a VFD connected to a lathe.

Then I go out and buy a portable Unigmig 250MTS for mig welding in the field. It seems really good and probably is the best welder I own going by the arc it runs. It also seems to be highly efficient as turn the stick up to full power and I can burn holes in everything, all from a 15 amp socket, although it says to use a 32 amp.
