Northern welders

admin

Im looking to see if any one has had 1st hand exp. with a northern industrial welder. I am looking at their Hybrid MIG/Stick 200 model for $650. I realy want a mts multiprocess welder and this seems to have a real good price for a mts welder.

Reply:I do believe they are made in China so it might be hard to get parts and service.

Reply:If I were buying; and I am not; I would spend the extra money for the ThermalArc instead of the buying the lower priced Northern unit.A few of my toys !LinuxMintManjaroMiller Roughneck 2E Lincoln WeldPak 100HTP MTS 160 Chicago Electric 80amp Inverter   Victor O/A
