does anyone have any experience with Eastwood welders and plasma cutters. Their prices are reasonable but I'm concerned about the qualitty. gsont

We had Eastwood plasma cutters where I used to work. They were great little machines and had no issues with them. They were used daily as well so I know they had several hours on them. However, I haven't had any experience with Eastwoods welders. I would suspect that they are equally as good as the plasma cutters.
Maybe some of these other guys have had some experience with them and will jump in here. That's what I know... :D Hope it helps a little.

Welders

Post by JimAnderson » Wed Jan 30, 2013 10:06 pm

I bought a mig welder from Eastwood years ago.It was the biggest piece
of junk ever.I never could get it to hold a steady arc.It is
sitting in the junk pile and I replaced it with a lincoln sp135.I have had good luck with it.The few things I have bought from Eastwood,like spotwelder and spot weld cutters were junk.I feel they are overpriced
and I don't deal with them anymore period! Since you asked I would
recomend buying any welder or plasma cutter from someone who
makes them like Hypertherm,Miller,Lincoln,Hobart or others.Get what
you pay for.JMHO,Luck ,JimAnderson
