Inverter welding machine for electrode (MMA), LIFT TIG, and wire (MIG) with performance from 30 to 190 Amperes. It features automatic protection against overvoltage and overcurrent and incorporates fan cooling. It has a Hot Start system that adds electrical power, contributing to a smooth start of welding, an Anti-Stick system that prevents the electrode from sticking to the material, and an Arc Force system that ensures uniform welding even if the distance of the electrode from the material is not constant.

Advice from a professional to an amateur. Yes, it is a very good machine in the sense that it produces fast stitches compared to an electrode. If you don't use it with flux-cored wire, you won't even need to invest in a bottle. If you use it as a MIG machine, you will need a argon bottle and suitable wire. MIG/MAG machines have the following parameters to adjust: penetration depth, which is adjusted with the amperage that also simultaneously adjusts the wire speed and voltage that adjusts the width of the weld. The rest is up to the user (stability and movement) and gas adjustment. If you want to make small constructions, repetitive patterns, etc., it is an ideal solution. If you have occasional small jobs... A small electrode would be ideal, however, the same machine can also weld with an electrode. Ideal price for a medium to very good machine.
Professional opinion to a professional. For a second or third machine, it is an excellent machine considering the current it draws and the performance of about 60%. Ideal as a second or third choice if you already have a first machine. Sturdy construction. Handles very well. Strong wire mechanism. The package with the clamp is very good. Personally, I simply have more meters of clamp for greater freedom. The biggest downside is the suspension mechanism of the wire spool, which is very makeshift. However, it has never caused any issues and does not slow down the wire, so everything is fine. The handles have grooves for 0.8 and 1. They do not provide a second backup, but with a little effort, one can make a second one on a lathe for 0.6 and a groove for aluminum. Overall, very good capabilities for this purchase price. It surpasses the equivalent French, Greek, and Chinese versions.
Good overall, the downside is that it is bulky and with a 20-liter bottle that I have, if I want to move it 10 meters further, I need a trolley for sure. If I were to buy now, I would get the Chilix, which is small and convenient, I would save 100 euros and I would start with flux wire since I don't care much about making a perfect weld, the main thing is to weld more easily than with an electrode.
Today, on 10/3, my electric welder burned out, the second one from the same company that burns out within 2-3 months of use. Now, good luck finding a solution again...
I informed the dealership, they fixed everything well in a relatively short time, 20 days.
The machine is worth every last euro, both as a mig and as an mma, I am completely satisfied. It does not have sufficient instructions inside, if you use flux wire you need to put it in the middle cable in the top position inside the lid where the wire is and then put the body clamp on the +
For its price, the machine is very good, although I bought it a few days ago and have only done tests. Very powerful and very good build quality. If someone wants to work with it without gas, only with flux wire, it is better to get an MMA for half the price. The welds are very dirty and require a lot of grinding. With gas, it is perfect and definitely worth its money.
It is worth its money and more, for a beginner like myself it is the best. Before this welding machine, I had never welded before. The machine simply sews.... And in its electrode and wire (I use flux wire) it is a perfect tool.
Hello! What can I say about this sewing machine? It is simply amazing. For beginners, it is perfect and can be used with closed eyes. I personally use it for professional purposes. It's a star!
I bought it solely for flux wire use. At first, the welds weren't the best, but with some adjustments, I managed to find the ideal settings. It's an awesome machine now!! It's definitely worth every penny and more. I highly recommend it without hesitation!!!
If you're thinking of getting a welding machine, get this one. I have the ımperia pro 201 inverter, but this arcmax195 is awesome. It makes good welds, I'm talking about electrodes. I got gasless wire for welding, the tool does a good job. But I think with argon gas it will make even better welds.
