    Default F/S......Welders, welders, welders....

    Hey all,
    Not sure if they will attract much interest but you don't know unless you post so here goes!
    I have 3 phase 400amp mig welder for sale. Comes with bottle reg and remote wire feeder. Has been a great welder for us over the years but we don't need two so it's time to find a new home.
    Also have a Lincoln remote wire feeder to suit a DC welder. We purchased this some years ago but have only used it once. These usually sell for $3500 new so it is a welcome addition if you want a mig.

    I will post pics tonight. If people are genuinely interested they can pm me to discuss prices.
    Welders are located in Port Fairy in western vic. (3 hours west of melbourne)
    Thanks guys.

    It used to be single phase but we had it converted when the shed was done.

    Wat are the benefits of getting a 3 phase welder over a single phase?
    I only just bought a new welder last week. Got a BOC Magmate Pro 250, on special for $1320 . Now we gotta get a 15 amp plug for the shed tho and get a sparky in to finish wiring it up.

    But yeah, I've always wondered why 3 phase was better then single phase.

    higher amperage rating pretty much goes up to 40 or 80 amp somethign like that. You wont get more than 250amp welder on single phase.
    3 phase cost a lot to get put in a couple of thousand i heard

    Yep, that's pretty much it. We do shitloads of welding and single in the end just didn't cut it.
