Well I don't have it yet, but its paid for and on the way.
Now just to think of some kind of justification. I'm think plate alloy boat
I watched it count down to 0 seconds on ebay twice, last week and a relisting. I also found it on Gumtree for sale, listed 14 weeks ago
Googled the user name and its a pawn shop in SA. Offered $2500 and they took it. Has paperwork and probably still has warranty though I doubt I'll need it.
No mention in the ads of it being a pulse mig or even a mig. I think I found it by typing in EWM. Might have got more attention if they knew what it was they were selling. I asked a BOC rep the other day and its about 7k plus GST
I actually was casually looking at what EWM stuff was available. Couple weeks ago I asked on here about one as I'd seen them at BOC but wasn't sure if they are that good or just overpriced. Reason being is this model was on run out. Salesman mentioned it on Saturday when I was in there. They dropped the price to a ridiculous amount, 4 were sold on Friday and I got the last on Saturday.
Reduced to 800 plus I know its only DC but for that money....
That was the bargain of late 2016
Warrranty is for 24/7 continuous use abiding by duty cycle of course for 3 years. I just entered the serial codes of both machines. TIG was new so no issue, the pulse mig had never been registered for warranty it seems, accepted the code and the purchase date of today.

We just bought about 20 or more of the ewm pulse migs for a new job. I start using them when I go back after holidays. I've never really pulsed migged anything, so we'll see what happens.
Pretty nice machine there! cant argue with 100% duty cycle at 180A and 60% at 240A

Love to hear how it goes. Do you know the job yet? Aluminium or steel?
We say things like "thats a flash looking banger", "its got all the bells and whistles" or "it's got everything that opens and shuts" as well as any number of non PG rated things.
Its funny to use,(pulse sounds like a small chainsaw)the settings seemed like it should be cold, but it had really nice power. Doing small runs of butt welds and 6mm fillet welds with 1.2 90s d2 wire. BTW we took of those silly looking guns with all the buttons and fitted a normal bernard gun.
I've got a Binzel on the other mig, but I can't afford to buy another torch right now. Spent too much money on welders as it is. Besides as it came its set up for aluminium with a teflon liner, so I'll leave it for now. Only issue with the torch is the neck seems a bit long.

Sweet. We don't have much control over our settings. The ground work for the programs has been done, just allowed to have a little tweek with the volts or the arc control settings. Different welder to what I'm used to, but this work is also different.
The best bit is no spatter and being able to run slightly out of position without the puddle falling out.
