A. Yes. The 70048 supports both gas MIG (CO₂, Argon, or Argon/CO₂ mix) and gasless flux-cored wire welding. Switch between modes by reversing the torch polarity — no other changes needed.
A. The 70048 requires a 230V supply. If you are unsure whether your supply is adequate, consult a qualified electrician before installation.
A. The 70048 has a duty cycle of 60% @160A / 100% @120A. Duty cycle is measured over a 10-minute period — a 60% duty cycle means 6 minutes of continuous welding followed by a 4-minute cool-down. Operating at lower amperages increases available run time.
A. The 70048 is supplied with Aluminium welding MIG torch, Cable, 3m, Electrode holder, 200A, Earth clamp, 200A, Contact tips, 1.0mm. Additional consumables such as contact tips, nozzles, and electrodes are available separately.
A. The 70048 weighs 14kg and includes a carry handle for transport between locations. It can be moved by a single person and is suited to workshop use.
A. The 70048 is primarily suited to mild steel.
A. Yes. The 70048 is fitted with automatic thermal overload protection that cuts output if the machine exceeds safe operating temperature. It will restart automatically once it has cooled. Operating within the rated duty cycle minimises the frequency of thermal interruptions.
A. Yes — the 70048 is specifically designed for automotive and body panel applications. Its output range and wire diameter compatibility make it well suited to the thin-gauge steel used in vehicle body panels.
A. For gas MIG welding, yes — you need a CO₂, Argon, or CO₂/Argon mix cylinder with a regulator and hose (purchased separately at PartsForMachines.com). The 70048 also supports gasless flux-cored wire for outdoor work or sites where bottled gas is impractical — switch between modes by reversing the torch polarity.
