ESAB Dip-Pak 250

admin

I just saw two of these mig welders for sale, one for $900 and one for $600. I can't seem to find much on the web about them. Has anyone every used one? Thoughts on them. Also looking for a pdf manual, but can't seem to locate one.Thanks,Dave

Reply:That model isn't on the esab north america site, at least doesn't seem.  The only thing the search function did for me was come up with a fuse or something along those lines.  Under mig welders all I saw was factory grade.  Their site generally is better than the competition for the stuff I am intrested in.Isn't there a brand specific section on this forum, other brands is one of the options?They have responded to email in my experience.Last edited by fran...k.; 11-25-2011 at 01:09 PM.

Reply:Here's some more pictures of it. Price is down to $375, but I still can't find any info on them. Probably let it slide:Dave Attached Images
Reply:I'd bag it for that price but try to drive it down lower on principle. It's new enough to be an ESAB rather than a precursor brand so matching up feed rollers etc should be no problem.Euro-backend MIG guns are easy to replace with many different brands.ESAB customer service in Florence has some manuals not on the server. Give them a call.
