Comments: Got product on sale. Superb price for a quality Italian made welder on sale far cheaper than even Chinese rubbish. Strikes a great arc even with old rods and runs a smooth bead.

Comments: Well I have not used it yet. The reason I purchased it is that it is not made in China. I have a Vespa Scooter, Italian made, so I thought I would buy quality again and buy a Italian Welder. Can't go wrong.

Comments: I bought it to have a more reliable machine, especially since I live 100km from suppliers. I have been frustrated by failures of previous machines, possibly exacerbated by rural power supplies.

Stick Electrode Selection Chart -
High-performance hard-facing welding rod, ideal for ground-engaging equipment. Platinum 943 deposits extremely hard, abrasion resistant CrNb carbides, offering long wear life with both exceptional abrasion resistance and impact strength. Ideal for hard surfacing applications where resistance to high or extreme abrasion (in particular sliding abrasion) and moderate to heavy impact are required.
Due to the nodular shape of the complex carbides, Platinum 943 deposits are capable of withstanding heavier impact levels than standard chromium-carbide electrodes. Typical applications include; buckets, lips, screws, hammers, teeth, crushing equipment, etc. Typical hardness 60-65 HRC (1st layer). Supplied in a 1kg re-usable convenience pack to keep electrodes in good condition.
