Welders.

_{Welders:

Most boat kit builders build their boats at home, and
only have 240V mains power. Because of this, the
selection of welders is limited to 240 Volt machines. As
some builders may have 3 phase power we have listed both
types of machines.

There are three types of 240 volt machines used for
welding aluminium and steel. These are (1), the standard
transformer machine, (2) The newer style of inverter
machine and (3) The top of the range pulse Mig machine
that is able to operate on 240 Volt.

At our aluminium welding and boatbuilding course that we
run, we allow students to operate all types of welders.
For all machines that are setup to run aluminium , there
are 4 things that are required to be changed. These
include, aluminium "U" groove drive rollers, a
teflon low friction liner fitted to the Mig gun, Argon
gas, and oversized tips (usually designated 1.2A). We
recommend to use the most expensive welding wire that you
can afford. Our preference is Safra 5356, 1.2mm diameter.

3 Phase Machines

Two of the top of the range machines include Essetti and
Fronius. The machines that we recommend are listed below.

Single Phase Machines

Our machines of preference that we recommend for the home
builder are the UniMIG Inverter machines and also the
UniMIG transformer Trade or Workshop series. Both of
these machines are listed below.}

Specifications:
Specifications for the welders will be added soon.
