lorch on ebay

[didsthewelder]

theres a 450 amp mig on ebay .model is a c4503b . does anyone know roughly the age etc ? we need another machine for next week and right now I'm fed up of spending money so new isn't an option at the minute .cheers guys

There's a nice hitachi 350 on ebay, been going around for months - south wales, would it be powerful enough? It's single pulse. I know he'll take offers around the £350 mark.

 

[didsthewelder]

Thanks Hugh il take a look ? 350 should be ok for the work its doing but I do need long inter connect leads n water cooling if possible .

 

[HughF]

It's a separate feeder job with a euro torch. I think there's 10m interconnecting leads with it. South wales/cardiff area, don't buy it without viewing it/trying it as they're a bit specialised and although well built and well supported by the distributor, there's only 1 distributor and they're in bristol.

I've got the tig brother of the machine and I've watched that hitachi mig go round and round on eBay for literally the past 6 months but I don't need it enough to justify buying it.

We don't need anything too fancy as all its doing is downhand fillets .just long ones hence the cooler n long leads .ive had a murex 500 amp synergic on ebay for months n months ,getting to the 99p start time soon. it is a god awful machine though ..

Do you need meters for en1090? If not there's a boat load of 400-500a machines on there at the mo. I spotted an ewm, a saf oerlikon, a lincoln, etc etc.

Not sure if this is allowed but I have an Esab L405 for sale, maybe a bit far away though ? I would sell for £400, note though that the spool gun is not included.

Ah sorry just noticed you want water cooling, mine doesn't have that option fitted.

 

[didsthewelder]

Yes it needs meters . I can get it calibrated quick enough but need something for Wednesday ish next week .I should buy new but spent way too much lately..il have a proper look around later n see whats around .

 

[didsthewelder]

Hi hood ,yes we need water cooling .itl be doing 15 mtr runs in one hit .gas cooled will do but hell it cooks the torches and your fingers .The reason I was looking at the lorch is we have a lorch 350 which is brilliant so was trying to go for similar .Thanks anyway

 

[Hood]

No probs, hopefully you will get sorted quickly

The Lorch MIG is a tidy set, but for a little more money you could get yourself a brand new Tec Arc 350 water cooled separate with torch etc.. and that'd have warranty too.

Might be worth considering.

I'd hire a set.
