Thread: New build 430 tiller

Ha, I don't feel so bad with my four welders then haha. Although one is currently not functioning, I think I'll part it out over trying to repair it as it looks like a electronics fix is required. Those are a pain in the arse to chase!

Push pull guns can be great - although I've been tasked with pulling two of the bloody things apart so far to strip liner jams out of them when the wire stops at the pull end for whatever reason and the push just keeps doing it's thing. You'd think that was how they made neat little coils of aluminium wire by design... Bloody liners didn't really like that as an experience to be fair though!

I hear ya about the changing out of setups, for the little welding I'm currently doing I've got the tig and a mig with two separate remote feeders - one on 1.2mm solid for the decent melts and the other on 0.8mm solid with a little MB15 gas saver torch on it. That thing seems to run happily on a little over 8 or so LPM so economical as, and works for 90% of the mig jobs. I've been running the tig in MMA mode quite a bit lately, stainless electrodes on a pesky job where I just couldn't easily get the tig torch in along with a filler and still see. Funny how you get the flash gear and then end up with jobs where it isn't much use.
