Unimig 240

The Unimig 240 Amp Pro-Craft Welder is cheaper, smaller and looks pretty schmick but how does it compete with the bigger bulkier models of their competitors?

Unimig hasn't been around as long - since 1985, but they doesn't seem to be holding them back and they have started to branch out and expand into all areas of welding and cutting equipment areas.

Designed for both heavy duty applications and for the home handyman or hobbyist this machine has been seen to be very effective at what it is designed to do.

Not to mention that all their products do comply with Australian standards.

This light industrial welder is great for automotive, rural applications and light fabrication with some expert results seen on some work with light steels, stainless steel and aluminium.

The machine itself comes with a few different features:
•    Gear driven, industrial strength wire feed system
•    Dual earth inductance
•    Multi-functioning control board
•    Fan cooling

But without a doubt the main advantage and draw of this machine is the price.  The Unimig 240 welder has been aimed at those who want a full performing machine but without sacrificing reliability or power and so far it seems to be hitting the mark.

The great price is pulling many do-it-yourselfers towards this machine and that appears Unimig's goal - a bit of a jab at their competitors to show consumers what can be achieved and what they should expect to pay.

The Unimig 240 machine weights 81kg and has a wire spool size of 5 and 15kg.  With an input voltage of 240V and using a MIG (metal active gas) welding process with a current of 30-240 Amps this model will likely be more then enough for anything you might want to join together.

A meaty machine for the size and price.

The fact that the Unimig 240 Pro-Craft Welder is only in the first generations of Unimig equipment is a promising sign of the direction the quality and price of these types of machines are heading.

Depending on what your applications are this could be the machine for you, if you're welding 24/7 then I would invest in a industrial application welder - but keep your eyes open because Unimig are raising their game, and fast.

So my guess is that you should keep your eyes peeled and expect out companies to start to follow suit by bringing out for affordable products without sacrificing quality.
