R-Tech Welding MIG180 Mig Welder Review Part 2 

about 15 years ago i got really bad arc burn all up my chest and forearms i had overalls on but open i had a cotton t shirt on it didn't stop the burn i had my sleeves rolled up it was hot in the work shop they look a cracking welder john and for it to be explained in plain English is brilliant i would definitely buy one but my welding days are over i am afraid to say excellent video john keep them up

Thanks for the welding vids John. I've never welded and this series is turning into a valuable resource for me for when I try it myself.

Hiya mate, I bought this welder a couple of years back after watching your excellent videos on it, it's a great welder, I'm chuffed to bits with it, thanks.

Well done John. Great expectation . Wish other companies would find people like you to explain using layman's terms.

Thanks John for the great video, great simple explanation of the mig welder and the important safety aspects. Thank you for sharing. Randy

Great tutorial John. Thanks for the laughs too.

Love the out-take at the end! 😆

"Blow any shite out of the valve", "Don't weld outside in the pissing rain", very very funny, great video

Another well presented subject, I enjoy all your videos John thank you and keep it up.

I've got the old model with twin readouts. I've been quite happy with it.

Awesome tutorial, and great humour!

Great stuff! I bought this welder and love it! Thanks for a great review!

John, What lighting are you using please? Cheers, Geoff

"so you can use a grinder without getting shite in yer eyes" haha, love it.

John Bought a 180 very noisy any ideas to make it quieter seems to be fan noise is from the fan

Hello John, sorry for asking - shall I use the mig option without the gas?! - I am just a beginner and I want to buy this welder. I wonder if I could use it without gas at least for a while. Thank you very much for uploading these videos.

Hi. I have the R-tech 180 Mig. Can this machine be used to scratch start tig weld stainless? If it can which gas is best? Thanks

Is it possible to use this welder with a normal 13 or 16 amp plug

John. I am going to be attempting to weld a tubular chassis soon. The tube is 1 1/2" OD 16swg wall thickness CDS mild steel. Will also need to weld some 4mm thick mild steel plate in the corners. Would this MIG we sufficient, with chassis work being structural 'n' all? If so, what wire would you suggest? Cheers

What spring tension should be used for 0.6mm wire please?

Your lathe/milling work was inspiring pal..good luck ;_) and thank you for your contributions.

hi mate I've just bought a r tech 200 pdc but not able to use it yet because not got the house electrics sorted for it yet can you give me some advice about what i need to do this thanks

Inverter or transformer based for car repairs?

May i ask, what mix of inert gas is it, 75/25 CO²/Argon? ( Am a tad Blitzed tonight) And i wanted to point out, the gas is there to keep the Oxygen out. :)

Hello can you please help r-tech welder 180 and the gas pipe that goes in the of the machine is leaking I've niped it up but it's coming out quite a lot

Nice and simple, cheers.

makes me want to buy one.

good job john
