Don’t use just CO2 (pub bottle gas) as this gas will not give you the best results. I use Air Products Cougar 20, because I do lots of welding, but you can get bottled gas from Hobbyweld Suppliers at a very reasonable rate. This was my stand-by welder prior to buying my 181 Thermal arc, I found it to be good at doing repair work but not particularly good at doing long periods of welding.Īnother very important factor you will need to source is what type of welding gas and bottles you will need, for general steel welding you will need an Argon/CO2 mix. #What is a replacement for cebora 130 mig welder professionalThis is a Sealey Supermig 170/1, with euro torch, you can pick one of these up second hand for around £200, they are higher spec than the budget ranges but would not be what a professional welder would use, this welder is a good all rounder for Land Rover repairs, this would be the kind of welder I would recommend to someone who has a Land Rover and wants to do the odd modification or maintainance job or is new to welding work, but will not be welding on a daily basis. If you want to weld all of the above types of steel work, then you are going to need a very deep wallet, or you could buy 2 welders, 1 for body work and light steel and a bigger Mig for the heavy steel work. For the welding of axles, winch bumpers, steering guards and other heavy steel work you will need 150+ amps. You also need to consider what thickness of steel you will be welding, so for light body work you only need low current say 40-70 amps depending on the thickness of the steel, for chassis work you will need a minimum current of 100-150 also depending on thickness of the steel. The best advice I can give is to buy the best welder you can afford, and don’t expect to pay peanuts for a good welder! ![]() Then we move into better welders like Butters, Cebora, Thermal Arc, Migatronic, Kempi, Lincoln, etc. If however you have more than £100 to spend, there are lots of welders to choose from starting with the budget end, Clark, SIP, Sureweld, Draper, Sealey etc some are good, some not so good! (The above picture shows a Snap-on Mig welder 130, the only down side to these welders is that the welding torch can break, but spares are easy to source.) I have had 3 of these welders over the years and I can say they are great for the money, the quality of the components used in these welders is good. If I had a budget of £100 I would buy a second hand welder not a brand new one and the machine I would buy is a Cebora (also Snap-on) pocket Mig 130, you can find these on ebay for £50-100. ![]() Lots of people buy a cheap welder and have a go at welding, they then see their results and give up, this is mostly down to buying the wrong machine. #What is a replacement for cebora 130 mig welder how toBut wait a minute, don’t run off to the shop just yet, because there’s a lot more to consider before you go and buy the first welder you see, and there is no better market than welders to say ‘You get what you pay for’.įor example, if you wanted to learn how to weld and you only have a small budget of say £100 this would buy you a very low spec new machine and quite frankly it would produce crude weld (like bird poo!), and not only that, but you would not find it easy to use. Well, a Mig welder is the main choice due to their versatility and ease of use. I hope the following will be a guide to Mig welders and help you decide what mig welder you need. ![]()
