Cheers Justin, its an old oil filled Oxford Arc welder, maybe in the way of 180-200A... run it off a 32amp 240v supply off the consumer unit, must be going 40 years old if not older, handy little thing though, will weld all day with a 4mm rod happily away, will outlast a modern day inverter anyday.... to be fair a little mig would be handy moreso for the cab repairs i did on the 7610 but then its extra expense in having a gas bottle or running out mid job of a weekend when everything closed, with the stick plant turned down you can get by with a 1.6mm rod on thin stuff, but can set to with stuff that a little mig would struggle with, the Oxford just bites into it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that theres still ewes lambing Have to agree there Lee, it's hard to beat the smell of freshly mown grass. In the same boat here with no grass. The sheep have been out of the meadows a good 2 weeks now but they still have less grass on than a football pitch. Finished lambing though! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
