Looks spot on that, i'll be needing one of those when i get my council garage. Is it very loud?

[Mk1-Maher]

Dont know yet havent fired the bad boy up yet pppppp-into it isnt so i wouldn't think so, i think the box said something about 65db at 7 meters? means nothing to me either, guess we'll just have to wear ear muffs

[geoffersmasher]

i will be using this too your escort certainly will be a budget build

[Mr Sam]

wonder what its like when you crank up a welder

[Mk1-Maher]

i wouldnt mind finding out actually thinking of giving that a bash myself too, even wonderd if it might cope with the small compressor im thinking about buying soon

[w p e]

make sure you mix the 2 stroke oil correctly as its not 4 stroke . and no it wont run a welder/compressure its only 850w max it might run a very small comp

No hope i'm afraid

 

My last workshop had no power, so I bought a 2.8kva petrol genny, used to use it for running strip lights and drill/ grinder etc, also got a sealey mini mig thing that i bought years ago, only a baby welder, not even fitted with proper welding torch, would fire the welder , all the strip lights would go out, but would not penetrate any metal wotsoever, just sort of dripped on in a solder way, to run a welder you will need a big kva genny, and as I found out when looking big kva means big ££

my hopes are dashed wayne your making it more expensive for me haha

[w p e]

look before you leap my man ive got one it runs my lights and fridge at motocross meets thats about it also runs the drill and grinder

[Mk1-Maher]
