Redline 170 Mig Welder 230v - RL170
The Redline 170 is a robust single phase welding machine suitable for home or workshop use. Wire feed is managed via a steel pressure arm, which also features a reversible 0.6/0.8mm Feed Roll. The wire drive side of the machine is accessed via a hinged side panel and will accommodate 5kg or 15kg reels. The power is controlled by a 6 position voltage switch and wire speed is electronically controlled. It has a pressed steel chassis and side panels, 4 wheel undercarriage and a gas cylinder tray suitable for holding one of our Hobbyweld cylinders.
The Redline 170 uses an industrial quality euro connection for the torch, which delivers the wire smoothly and easily to the arc with a crisp, even burn off. Other welding machines may compromise with a hard-wired torch which saves on cost. Our advice would be to avoid those as the weld quality will never be as good as the euro connection torch. The Redline 170 is supplied with an MB15 type, 3m Mig Torch.
The Redline 170 will suit those end users primarily working in a range of material thicknesses from 1-4mm with occasional 6mm usage and are looking for a superior welding experience than that offered by the hard-wired torch DIY focused machines. Inevitably this machine will cost more than that type of machine but we believe it offers extremely good value for money and is not a machine you will regret buying in 6 months time.
Other features include thermal overload protection with warning light, forced air fan cooling and a full 2 year return to base warranty which covers all carriage costs. Having said about the warranty we cannot recall a single issue on warranty with over 100 machines sold to date.
