Thread: BOC Smootharc MIG welders

I’m an ESAB fan
I have a couple of older single phase units (1 x mig 200amp and 1 x caddy 220 TIG/ARC) alongside the CIG 180 3 phase mig (there’s a BOC inverter ARC on the shelf somewhere too)
The ESAB seems to just give a better weld than the CIG, maybe it’s the operator (or the beers), or maybe just the inverter technology compared to the old AC wave
At one of the engineering companies I do work for they have a the WIA (big bertha I call it) and Fronius MIGs, all very good but the ESAB does it for me
