RogerH Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 (edited) Hi Folks I have a Clarke 100E mig welding machine that has done 25 + years of work that needs a new home. But it works. I have gone up market and now have an R-Tech MIG181. If anybody wants the Clake then it is yours FOC Some Spares - wire (0.6mm) Gas, and nozzle tips. Fairly heavy so collection recommended New Home Found. Roger Edited February 3 by RogerH Link to post Share on other sites
Richmac Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Hi Rodger Is a 100 strong enough to do normal car stuff? I guess its what you have been using it for. I know nothing about mig welding except having a go with a friends Regards Richard Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 Hi Richard, it will easily weld 1mm + 1mm plug, seam, butt weld or even 2mm + 2mm for fillet welds etc. I have done thicker but not pretty. Basically anything on the TR can be welded Roger Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Thats very generous Roger. Hope it finds a good home soon. May see you at next Thursday meet, Regards Harry Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 Hi Folks In trying to find space for the new Mig machine I found a steel tool box full of tools that a neighbour gave me 5 years ago 6 hammers, some new, of various sizes - 2 lb ball pein, 3 x 1 lb ball pein, 1lb cross pein, 6" G clamps x 2 and some 'stuff'/ The steel box - 20" x 10" x 12" - is on wheels. If anybody wants them I'll be at Stoneleigh. Roger Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Very nice, Roger and very generous! I'd be interested as my old welder died before Xmas, but I gave myself a Christmas present of a new one. But my old welder was on a DiY trolley, with space for the gas cylinder, so the first job for the new one was to build it's own transport: Sorry, the old one wasn't usable and has gone to the Great Workshop in the Sky.

RogerH Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 Hi John, I already have the gas bottle to one side (out of the way) for the TIG welder. Annoyingly the MIG will not sit with a tank attached - unless I can re-arange the garage. If nobody wants the welder on here then I shall put it on Hillingdon Freecycle. Too good for the skip.

Richmac Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Could I have the mig of you please Rodger? I can then hone my welding skills for a little job I have in mind Regards Richard Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 Hi Richard of course you may. Can you collect ? I'm in Hayes near Heathrow Airport. #94 UB3 3AF. There is a ULEZ in the area. Roger Link to post Share on other sites
Richmac Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Hi Rodger I can collect but out of principle and stubbornness I am refusing to pay to go into the ULEZ zone. I'll come in a classic Link to post Share on other sites
