This looks good. It's a MIG Gas/Gasless and MMA/Stick electrode as well as DC TIG welder.

Bunnings have it for $500I see yours is a130 amp. Do you trip your power when using it. Talking to a few welders at work they all said go at least 170 amp.

The bossweld MST185 at bunnings costs 500. It is a very good welder. I see industrial suppliers selling these for more dollars..You will need to pay an extra $160 for a tig torch. And $299 for ownership of a d size argon bottle with $99 Swaps when empty. And 20 bucks for a better arc handle. I bought the tig torch. This unit is lift tig which is easy to use but not as good as hf which you will find on higher end tigs. What impressed me about the tig on this unit is that the low end of the amp scale is accurate. You can weld really thin shyt with this. Then I got the TS200 ac dc at a good price with no torch or any accessories... The tig control plug is different. I rang the supplier Dynaweld fully expecting them to tell me to fark off and buy another tig torch, but instead they talked me thru the process and sent me wiring diagrams !
Awesome service.

Take eveyones advice and dont use gasless wire. It is horrible messy crep. My roll went in the bin after using it for 30 seconds.

Honestly I don't think I ever need a tig. I've gone this long without a welder at all. I can always get stuff welded at work if need be. I can pretty much get steel from work cut and bent to whatever size I need, just want something to play around with at home.

Point taken no gasless..

What are your thoughts on the Rossi brand - this one in particular? garage use only. I have the 130amp mig at the moment , again a Rossi, but even on gas and full power it does not lay a good bead - struggles to get the metal down and its a generally horrible looking result - i am resigned to park it under the bench.

Rossi is a Brazilian brand.they are very light, but well built. The crescent stainless buttplate can be nasty with heavy loads. Awesome, 5 stars 9418309E-F5A4-4704-87CF-281668F8B2E8.jpeg

Oops wrong Rossi

Seriously tho.. had a Rossi ebay inverter mig for a short time, sold it quickly due to horrid feed and lack of support. Rossi is an ebay brand that sounds nice.. like detroit and chicago trying to be milwaukee..
