Reply:I have to ask due to the fact we get so many machine questions,,,, is it a good machine>  Yes..  Is it the RIGHT machine for you is another matter.  Maybe you are a professional that needs it but hard to tell with limited info.  I recognized the name from another thread, these are hyi dollar units, expensive to maintain in some sense, what is it you are trying to do?Last edited by Sberry; 03-29-2022 at 09:35 AM.www.urkafarms.com
Reply:Dam nice machine at a great price. But I agree with Sberry. If it does everything you need or are a collector then go for it.Lincoln 330MPXLincoln Power Mig 256Lincoln LN-25X Wire FeederMagnum PRO 250LX GT Spool GunModified Lincoln 225¼ Ton of Torches OFC-A OFG-AAir Carbon Arc GougingEverlast 62i Plasma CutterIngersoll Rand Type 30 14hpInstagram: #Freebird Welds
Reply:If you need to run other processes, some more weld where time is money then these types of machines are for you.  Metal building and carport doesnt scream heavy duty and to tell the truth,,, if I am looking at the true utility valu8e and I think even Door Dave agrees, if I was gonna zing it with small sticks like the new cheap inverter machine.  If you manage to wear it out then its done some work, the initial price, the small fuel use, the reduced size and weight  make it near free by the first oil change.www.urkafarms.com
Reply:Takes maintenance and hobby a long time to put a few real hours on a welder.  Different than the guy above burning big fat ones at 300A welding bucket. Other than a few heavy duty spots early on the rest of my career pretty much 1/8 welding rods and I suspect true for lots of other guys too,,, even Ironwork, lots of 1/8 work.www.urkafarms.com
