found this forum yesterday when looking for info about running equipment off of my champion 4500.my dad was a welder and he run mobile up here in British Columbia Canada. he and I both ran portable rigs in the 70,s on the alaska highway on road consruction.I now do commercial diving on the side and work for a company that installs alumnium docks.last year I noticed that there was a need to do onsite small repairs so took up alum. welding. now I plan to put my welders on my dive boat and be mobile on the lake.the welders I have now are. Hobart champion 4500.used to power some of my tools and will be used to power my new clarke 135 spool gun. also have a Hobart 250ci plasma on order. have a powermig 130 in the shop along with a miller 225. and a miller suitcase inverter welder/tig. also have a Broco underwater cutting system. ride harleys. building a 1967 triumph chopper.luving life.diverdown.

I just noticed you have a 250ci on order-

What do you have planned for that puppy? Only reason I ask is that is is pretty much the same as my Miller 125c 12 amp Plasma machine.

Has a heck of a time on AL

Zips trough 20g steel no problem but anything thicker 1/8" and it's a snooze fest

Welcome aboard Diverdown! Is that Triumph by any chance a triple?

[diverdown]

thanks guys. the triumph is a 650 twin, bobber/chopper in the making. got the hardtail frame, rebuilt the engine. now fitting a harley narrow glide front end.daily rider is a 2003 sportster 883 taken to 1200 and just for kicks added a NOS kit.thanks Broccoli 1 for the info on the hour meter. will order one up. as for the HH 250 plasma, like the idea of a built in compressor. will use it to cut S/S mesh for use on fresh water intakes. should also work for working on my dive boat as it is gauge alum.very thin.and want to build some job boxes for my welding truck.and for sale. got it from northern tool. $759.00 deliverd.think thats a good price as the tool place here wants over $1000.00.hope the fedex truck gets here soon.diverdown

Order some consumables now as the built in compressor likes to eat em' up since you can't keep the moisture out.
