ESAB Heliarc 252, Is it a worthy machine??

admin

Hello... I may have an opportunity to pickup an Esab Heliarc 252. Are they good machines? Can they run a wire feeder? What would a good price be for one that looks to be in excellent shape? Im not sure whats all included with it yet. Still waiting for more info on it.Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Reply:Doesn't look like it can do wire welding. If the name "Heliarc" didn't give it away, it's a dedicated TIG box. Looks like a pretty good one, too, better than the stick boxes we used at school. Even has a pedal and high frequency.Currently working as a Paralegal, but still interested in hobby welding.Miller Bobcat 225ntOne- Character Fractions: ¼ ½ ¾ ⅛ ⅜ ⅝ ⅞

Reply:Just found out it comes with cables, foot pedal, etc and can probably get it for a grand. I'm gonna go look at it. He also says he has a bunch of other machines from 500- up to 2000.
