Welding machine HOMER MG-150 of our private brand HOMER tools is
aimed for MIG/MAG welding.
The machine can weld various types of joints (butt, single-sided, double-
sided, fillet, lap, etc.) using wire diameter from 0.6 to 0.8 mm, respectively.
1.0 mm (flux cored wire) of different metals and alloys (carbon and alloy
steels, aluminium alloys, etc.). HOMER MG-150 is especially designed for
bodywork operations or maintenance work. Very good welding can be
achieved under a protective atmosphere of CO2. The machine welds very
well by means of using high-quality self-shielding wire (no gas cylinder and
pressure reducer needed).
