The MMA80 inverter welder is the perfect solution for both automotive & general repairs for DIY & garage use. It can weld iron & steel plate up to 3mm thick whilst it also the capability to weld nickel & copper. The Inverter technology adds a considerable weight reduction in comparison to traditional transformer types making it great for portable applications.

The MMA80 also has a large current control knob that can be easily operated whilst wearing welding gloves. A clear digital display displays the variable output current. Advanced functions included with this welder are Hot Start, which eases striking the arc; Arc Force, which gives a temporary increase of the output current if the arc turns too short; & Anti Stick, which switches off the power source if the electrode sticks to the material. The MMA80 runs from a standard 13 Amp 230 Volt supply & comes supplied with an electrode holder, earth clamp, weld return cable plus a fixed Shade 11 Welding mask & carry strap.
