Inexpensive universal welding machine
Grand MIG/MMA-360 Professional can be considered as a universal device, because it is suitable for welding with both electrodes and wires. A wide range of welding currents (from 30 A to 360 A) allows the use of various electrodes with a diameter of 1.6 mm to 6 mm (although many users recommend limiting themselves to "triples" and "fours", when working with which there is some "margin" in current and not weak wires and tips overheat), as well as wire with a diameter of up to 1 mm. The possibility of changing the polarity is provided, which allows the use of not only ordinary copper-plated wire, but also flux-cored wire.
Simple design with a set of basic functions
The design of the equipment is not too complicated, but solid. In particular, it is worth noting that the single-roller wire pulling mechanism is made of metal (in many other "low-cost" devices it is plastic). Thermal protection is not the most modern (insulation class F), but there are no complaints about the quality of cooling. The device is equipped with a "hot start" function and protection against sticking of the electrodes, which are of great help during operation. But there is no arc force function. Although, as practice shows, when using normal electrodes, the arc ignites easily and burns steadily.
Two digital displays placed on the front panel show voltage and current. But one of them is tricky. The amperage is shown only during operation (that is, when you monitor the quality of the seam and do not have the opportunity to look at the display). Therefore, before welding, you have to set the current "by eye", and then, in the process of work, squint with one eye at the indicator to make sure that its value matches the desired characteristics. This feature of the device is not very convenient for beginners.
Good low-cost semi-automatic for the garage
Grand MIG/MMA-360 Professional can be recommended for purchase for several reasons. Among them: affordable cost (as for equipment of this class), versatility, stable operation at low voltage (160 V) and the ability to cook with wire without a carbon dioxide cylinder. It is great for garage and home workshop. But it is better for professionals to look towards more “serious” equipment than Grand welding machines.
