kws Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 I see none of the welders come with gas regulators. Are they all much of a muchness? The websites for that Weldwell one call for a GR101C02, which is https://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/manufacturing-metalwork/welders/auction-1650543665.htm Do i specifically have to buy that one? I would want a regulator that works with the Bunnings swap out bottles. Quote

I have one a home its about as big as you can go on single phase 3 1 Quote
mjrstar Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 I have had my excel arc 200a MTS machine for ~ 6 years. Has been faultless. 3 Quote
Mr Vapour Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 I have a regulator in the shed, it's never been used , only fitted to the bottle Let me know if you get one without a reg. It's Italian not cheap spec. There's now wiring so no need to worry about the Italian quality 2 Quote
Get it done Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 This is the actual machine , is currently setup for alloy. Ill have to work out a price and sort through all the extras i have for it , bloody typical havnt used it in nearly a year and go to sell it and now need for a job . Will be repairing some big alloy trench sheilding 4 Quote
CUL8R Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Out of interest, does anyone use the heated regulators - with the C02 when doing large amounts of welding it freezes up ... ? Pain in the ass Quote
mjrstar Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Have had my co2 reg pretty cold to the touch with a bunch of condensation on the fittings but never to the point that it ices up and prevents gas flow. Quote
kws Posted June 7, 2018 Author Posted June 7, 2018 Just ordered one of those Weldwells on sale from Machinaryhouse, along with a decent mask. Just waiting on shipping costs now. Quote
kws Posted June 7, 2018 Author Posted June 7, 2018 Also signed up for the Weltec intro to MIG/TIG course that starts in July. Once i have done that ill buy a reg for my welder, and choose either MIG or TIG depending on which i like better during the course. https://2018.weltec.ac.nz/courses/mechanical-trades/mig-and-tig-welding-introduction/ Quote
kws Posted June 7, 2018 Author Posted June 7, 2018 Oops weldtech, one of these https://www.machineryhouse.co.nz/W1100 Cheaper than chips for a new player at home. 1 Quote
Tumeke Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Any of you fullas tried these? Seem pretty well priced. I'd be looking at the fully adjustable Platinum on the right if any. Mine is getting a bit slow of the mark to auto-darken. I've heard the internal battery doesn't last forever. Even cheaper at Saeco Wilson. Specs here: https://www.saecowilson.co.nz/product/info/WSP1604 Quote
cletus Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 I had to replace my helmet last year due to a flat battery that couldn't be replaced. the one I have now, I looked for one that has replaceable batteries 1 Quote
kicker Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 I have a solar charging helmet but after 6 years it wasn't staying dark even after leaving it in direct sunlight, again non-replaceable batteries. So I popped it open, desoldered the batteries and wired in some button cell holders that I hot glued to the inside of the helmet so now I can replace them, helmet works like a champ again. 8 Quote
