MULTI PROCESS WELDER ROUNDUP: WHO�S THE BEST? (PART I)

Amearicantorchtip02122 Dec, 2022Business

The first multi-process welder machine on our list is The Eastwood Elite MP140i. As one of the least expensive machines on our list, one might expect it to be sorely lacking in features. After all, how much can you expect for something only 1/7 the cost of the most expensive machine on our list? The MP140i, however, should be considered a serious value contender. It features 140A of output @ 30% duty cycle, 8? spool capacity, a heavy-duty metal drive motor, IGBT inverter technology, digital display, built-in spot weld timer, and 3/16? single-pass capacity on mild steel. You?ll also get a 10? Trafimet ERGOPLUS 15 MIG gun, 10? WP-17V TIG torch, and 12.5? electrode holder, all for an MSRP of $499.99!

HOW TO SELECT YOUR PLASMA CUTTER AIR COMPRESSOR

Amearicantorchtip02122 Dec, 2022Business

Plasma is a superheated ionized gas. In a plasma cutter air compressor system, you can think of this as a lightning bolt inside a tornado. The electrical current (lightning bolt) contains a massive amount of heat energy. The gas (tornado) ionizes, controls the arc, and blows away the molten material. In order for a plasma cutting system to perform optimally, the gas supply must be clean, dry, and properly regulated. When using bottled gas, these factors are relatively simple to control. Since most modern plasma cutting systems rely on shop air for the majority of cutting processes, it introduces more variables into the equation. Oftentimes, this causes performance and consumable life to suffer when the air supply is less than ideal.

WHY TIG WELDING IS BETTER THAN MIG WELDING

Amearicantorchtip02109 Nov, 2022Business

TIG welding and MIG welding both use electric arcs, filler metals and shielding gasses to create a weld. But their techniques, applications and finishes are quite different. As with any welding project, success depends on choosing the right processes and equipment. So we created a list of reasons to choose TIG welding over MIG welding.
