R-Tech 180 Amp Portable Inverter Mig Welder (240v)

The product is first class. Way ahead in performance and build of others welders owned. Easy decision to next purchase my TIG welder from RTech. Use product as car enthusiast and for general fabrication.

Love it. Easy to use and lighter than i thought

It ***s fine, 1 to 3mm mild steel (we have not tried heavier material, but I think it will pull it easily). The failings to make it a 5 star ***er are: the gas outlet should be off set to clear a half or full gas bottle on the ***ing cart, tried it on two different brands of ***ing carts, no clearance. The gas outlet is so simple to move to move to the side of the rear casing to eliminate this problem. The digital display only works in real ***ing time (so you cannot pre-set) & I can't *** & look at the display at the same time - so a totally redundant display - looks good though! Mounting a 5kg roll of wire is a little fiddly as it is not a standard mounting & the drive has no location pin for the wire spool, so it relies purely on the tension of the outer cone, spring & nut. We *** 1mm to 3mm mild steel as a second machine to our BOC Ryval 175 (no longer available hence the R Tech). Good smooth *** will suit an entry level ***er or someone who just wants a lightweight machine for light fab work or car body repairs. If you are not sitting at a ***ing table get the 4 metre hose & torch. The R Tech ***er appears to be similar to the rest of the machines in this price range only time will tell how it stands up to light fab work. Prompt delivery too.

Only 4 stars as not had time to actually use as yet due to work commitments. But first initial thoughts are very good with excellent build quality. Looking forward to using it real soon

I weld with it, Anybody who wants a welder. Very good quality.
