Cheap mig welder
Turbo Mini Forums

I have bought a new welder today so selling my old one as it is now taking up space in my garage.

Its an SIP migmate 105 and as they have an awful reputation I will give you an honest description.To be fair its only really powerful enough for doing a bit of bodywork and a smidge thicker stuff.The wire feed on these is shite as standard but its had the feed mechanism modified and a steel liner and swan neck liner fitted,the feed is ok and it will put down a decent weld.I have used it for bits and pieces of bodywork and it has done the job just fine.

If you want a versatile welder its probably no good to you as it wont manage once you get anything thicker than 3mm.Ive made a few things from 3mm box section with it and they have been fine although I wouldnt want my life to depend on them as its at the limit of the welders power.If you want something cheap for occasional patching up etc its fine.

It comes with a homebuilt trolley as shown in the pictures (gas bottle,regulator,mask etc not included).It has 2 rolls of wire with it,they are both the small 0.7kg ones (1x0.6m & 1x0.8m).The welder itself is in good working order and apart from one chip in the paint at the front and a bit of dust its in good condition.






Price is £50 collected please.Cheers Ross
