suitcase welders

admin

any suggestions for additional manufacturers other than lincoln and miller with proven track records for suitcase welders similar in specs to the ln25 and vs12?
Reply:Those are suitcase wire feeders, not welders and the post is in the wrong forum.Hobart feeders and their descendants made by Thermal Arc are well made and can be had cheap used if you are patient. Of course, that works for Miller and Lincoln too.Last edited by farmall; 08-12-2011 at 05:33 PM.

Reply:X2 on the ESAB  I sold my LN25 when I got the ESAB 300AVS and like it a lot better.  nice having the digital wire speed and voltage readout.  its also a 4 roll feeder not a 2 roll.to follow up on Farmall's comment are you looking for a suitcase feeder or a suitcase welder.   the feeder needs an external welding power supply the welder would have the power supply built in.  the machines you reference are feeders.Last edited by soutthpaw; 08-12-2011 at 11:39 PM.Tiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250
