ARGON and argon mix is a third cheaper in the Halifords here compared to C02.

Read the label  ;) you only get half the gas  :P

oh I never thought to look, I just noticed in passing the price difference when I went to pick up some anti-splatter spray. My MIG's a total POS hate hate hate NEVER BUY SIP mig lads. It's so bad that I can do a nicer weld on sheet with ARC and 1.5mm sticks.

second that, only used one once, i have a butters mig and also a migatronic, both are excellent but i prefer the migatronic for the big stuff like tractor trailer drawbars  8-[

Both good brands  ;) I use Murex, Migatronic and Esab migs @ work and have a SIP and Cebora @ home. The SIP runs sweet as a nut (195 Autoplus) and was only £20 with an MB25 Binzel euro torch (didnt care if the welder worked @ that price  :P )

topless matt:
yeah, to get an euro torch with a welder at that price id just be happy for the torch  :dance:

has it been converted for eurotorch or was that model like that from kick off? If converted they maybe have also modified the voltage regulation on the feed etc to make it run sweet, have seen the mod mentioned on welding forum.
