Awesome evening brother from another country down under little sister and family great to see the review I like the way that little rig works !!!! Hopefully the winner will be able to do a video of their own and help the manufacturer out with some sales great to see yall again and say hi to everyone have an awesome day brother and will be waiting to see those engines roar to life !!!! See yall on the video brother
Hi Robert. We all going well mate and hope you are too. It’s a good little machine. Hopefully it’s someone that’s a regular watcher and comments on most episodes. See what happens
@stevesplacedownunder for sure brother !!!!! I was very impressed with it !!!!! You did an awesome job demonstrating it as well !!!!!! Great welding to !!!! Gotta brag on you alittle just trying to get a feel for it but you will figure it out quick enough lol 😆 🤣
Glad you’re getting good use out of the helmet Steve. That machine seems like the goods. It’s a bugger that I have four machines when with that simder I would only need the one. Story of my life really.
Hi Mark, yes mate I certainly am. It’s the only speed glass one I have so I use it whenever I’m welding. I was very impressed with the machine, but if you already have others it’s not a bad thing either mate
G'day Steve, The run- down on the Welder came across a treat , especially for any potential buyers . It sounded smooth from the first arc , and performed quite well in your demonstration, with all the different features & settings it comes across as a capable little unit. And a 30% discount too , i imaging they'll sell a few . Nice job. Respect....!
Thank you Craig. Yes mate I’m very happy with it and a lot of positive comments. Video is slowly going up so I’d imagine it’s going to sell a few units. Thank you mate
Looks the ducks guts mate. Was going to suggest making the base so you could pick it up with a fork but you had That base covered. Good luck to those that entered
Looks like a awesome little unit. Thanks Steve for the review and whoever wins it is going to have a nice piece of kit to play with. Happy Days from kiwi land.
STEVE you should run the tip size that suits the wire diameter, as the wire runs thru the tip it gradually wears the tip and then the I.D. Gets bigger, this leads quite quickly to poor contact between the tip and the wire this loss of electrical conductivity causes welding problems. When in high amps its not that much of a problem but with thin metal say body panels its a big problem, you will experience a stop start welding process where the wire feeds but because of the loss of conductivity you have no arc and the wire pushes the handpiece away from the metal. I hold a Commonwealth certificate in Mig/Pipe. I also suggest people use a ear plug the foam squeeze type and you push the wire thru the plug before the wire goes into the feed rollers. This keeps the wire clean going thru the rollers and thus the liner also. I also recommend 100% getting hold of some beeswax and after the shroud has gotten hot you push the shroud into the wax and let it melt the wax and thus coat both inside and outside of the shroud and the tip. Over decades of welding I’ve found this the best , it lasts way longer than any other paste or spray. Get an old tin can and put the beeswax in that.
Hi Steve, It looks like it would be a useful little welder. I haven't seen sataincraft rods for years, the were easy rods to use and made you look better than you were. My engineering supply shop told me not to deal to the 15 amp plug as it voided the warranty. I brought a proper 15amp extension lead witch now fits 10amp plugs. .
Hi mate. They are great rods to use. Yes they do void warranty if the plug is tampered with indeed. I have an adapter here somewhere but they still seem to receive the treatment 🤣🤣.
Never had a go at Mig ,only a chicken !!.,., er with stick nearly 80 proberly too old to change. Anything thin I get my son to to do it with his mig!! Cheers Mal.
What a handy tool that SIMDER is, another great video Steve and family, well done 👍
Hi Rod. Thank you mate. Yes I’m very happy with it
Very well demonstrated and explained Steve. Looks a great set up for like you said any DIY guys. 10 out of 10 Steve 👍
Thank you mate, much appreciated.
Looks like a really handy tool for the shed.
I think it’s great

i Steve and family thanks for another great video that was a great review on it Steve well dun mate
Hi John thank you mate and all the best to you also
Seems easy to use which is what I like.
It is mate. Once set up and get used to it it becomes much easier
Hey up Steve thanks for your video nice honest review, funny that the stand was for a red motor as my thumb's up was number 202
Hi John my pleasure mate. I’m always honest. Yes certainly is for a red, but a 173, still a coincidence though mate
@stevesplacedownunder there all reds unless gray though I'm sure I've come across gold ones (repco rebuilt?)
Thank you Steve. I'm not a welder but you put that together bloody well mate. Thanks again and I did enjoy it cobber.🤠
Thank you Daryl. Welding videos are hard because of so many experts commenting but this one seems good so far
G'day Steve,

Nice job.

SIMDER !!! Great Job. Great Machine 👍 Love that Cutter !
Thanks for watching Cowin
Bloody good buy for the price with that 30% off, perfect for home handyman.
It certainly is mate. Works really nicely
Seems a decent little unit for the money, especially for us with suboptimal space. Haha.
Have a good week, mate.👍🏻
Yeah it is mate I think. I’m very pleased with how it works. All the best mate and you too
Gday Steve bloody brilliant little unit mate it can do so much who ever wins it won't be disappointed mate nice one
Hi Keith yes mate it certainly is. I’d be happy if I won it
Looks the ducks guts mate. Was going to suggest making the base so you could pick it up with a fork but you had That base covered. Good luck to those that entered
I think it’s a good thing mate. This Chinese stuff is very affordable now and works great.
Thanks for sharing well done good luck
Thank you mate
Great Video Steve… well done mate made me want to have a go at my Mig a bit more. Always enjoy your content
Thank you Jimmy. This video hasn’t done to well yet though
Great video! Makes me want to learn how to weld!
It’s a good thing to know mate
SWEET
Thanks Ron
Fair play great video
Enjoyed your demonstration thank you.
Thank you mate 🙏
Enjoyed review Steve Looks like a good all-rounder for tractor tinkering mate 👍
It’s a great little unit mate indeed. Thanks Nick
Looks like a awesome little unit. Thanks Steve for the review and whoever wins it is going to have a nice piece of kit to play with.
Happy Days from kiwi land.
Hi Alan. Yes mate it’s a brilliant bit of kit. Somebody will be very happy to receive it in the post I’m sure. Thanks as always mate

Hi mate. I do on gas wire but this gasless stuff seems to bind up in the tip when it heats up. Thanks for the advice
Great work I would love to own it 🎉
Thank you mate

Gday Steve, I just checked out the price and was surprised, i looked up the duty cycle it’s not to bad either, good review mate, cheers
Hi Matty. Yeah mate I thought it was really good. Does a really good job. I’ve used it a bit off camera as well and really happy with how it works
Never had a go at Mig ,only a chicken !!.,., er with stick nearly 80 proberly too old to change. Anything thin I get my son to to do it with his mig!! Cheers Mal.
Thank you mate. They are fairly easy to use
Drag with slag that's what I've been told looks like it works well though
Yes mate I thought so. Thanks for watching
Nice machine what I've researched very useful would like a model with out all the pulse set up but have spoken to them and they are working on one
It is a great machine mate. I’m still using it
simder!! Mal.
