Hi Shaun,

I haven't tried the 'No-Gas' range of welders, so haven't got any personal experience to pass on. I have the 135TE which is a capable little machine and rated quite similar to the 180.

Regards,

Hi Neil, I will be using gas on this welder,I will also be fitting a euro torch adapter, my last welder, a SIP mig mate 105, I fitted a euro torch to this welder with excellent results, we will be stitching the chassis together very soon and the 105 is ok only for stitching, the 180 will be welding it all up.
