ESAB XXX? vs the HTP Pro Pulse 220 MTS

admin

After pondering modernizing our welding capability for years, we're finally getting ready to make our first non-stick welding process purchase.In short, we're seriously considering the HTP Pro Pulse 220 MTS welder...but I know that ESAB has a pretty good reputation, so the question at bar is: Which ESAB machine has capabilities that meet or exceed those that one gets with the HTP Pro Pulse 220 MTS?  By the way, I know enough about ESAB to know that there are different part numbers for different "packages," so your help with narrowing the closest ESAB welder package down to a specific part number, if possible, would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your time,Red
Reply:If you need/want pulse mig, then there is no equivalent ESAB to the propulse 220You might consider the Miller Multimatic 255
Reply:Why do you want a pulse MIG? If it's your first wire welder, then presumably you want it for steel? You'd be far better off with a good CV (constant voltage) MIG set.If you want it for aluminium, the pulse is great, but for steel... at best it's a nice-to-have, at worst, it's not as nice as plain CV.The Esab rebel series are overpriced and under-reliable. And don't do pulse mig. (if you need it)EWM, Fronius, Lincoln, GYS, and kemppi all do high quality single phase 200-220 amp machines as well.Last edited by Munkul; 1 Day Ago at 07:21 AM.Murphy's Golden Rule: Whoever has the gold, makes the rules.
