BOC 190C MIG opinions ?

Had a Murex machine for many years, and its very good indeed (basically same thing as BOC).

Would say though if you are looking to do car repairs a machine with spot/stitch function would be an extremely good idea.

According to the blurb on the website it does both, which is one of the reasons I'm seriously looking at this model :-) I know of the Murex reputation too, you've only got to look on eBay to see ancient examples of kit that still work like new ! We'll they're either ancient, very much abused or both !

Thanks for the input Ken

I have a BOC Transmig 110. It's old, around the early 80's. I love it. I'm only a hobby welder BTW. How much is the one you're looking at, out of interest? Mine is a big old beast!

I was recommended (on here) Butters, Murex & Cebora. Perhaps try looking on

Brand spanking new £633.33 inc VAT (£539.00 without, I think this is for the non euro torch model (I'll go for the euro version).

That's with 5 yr warranty on the transformer, inductor and rectifier

I'm going to give it about a month before getting a new MIG so I thought I'd ask here first. Also BOC let you pop in and try anything out before you buy and generally give you a bit of a discount if you get on with their staff :-)

I upgraded my O/A gear from various makes all to BOC and was amazed how much difference it made so I'm a bit of a fan of theirs !
