Hiya mate, I bought this welder a couple of years back after watching your excellent videos on it, it's a great welder, I'm chuffed to bits with it, thanks.

Hi John. I've just bought one of these machine and your videos have been a great help, thanks.

Good vid as usual. Lets face it most of us don't buy migs for home to weld brand new material. We buy them to save money so the exhaust repair was a good shout. Geoff.

John I enjoy the reviews of the R-Tech gear, especially the practical scenarios.

john your a legend I've learned a lot from your videos many thanks and keep it going pal. Paul.

I’ve been looking at getting a welder & really fancied the Cigweld 185 ultra from Australia as it pretty much sets the welder up, put the cost gets up to £1300. I’ve come across the R-Tech which is a third of the price but needs some welding knowledge/experience which I’m in very short supply of. I have really enjoyed your no nonsense approach which reminds me of the building college teachers I studied under. Thank you for the knowledge you’re sharing👍

Excellent video again John, thanks.

Absolute champion, cheers.

Could you do a video on setting up the welder for different thickness of metal please

Nice practical examples of welding. I enjoyed the video. Thanks foe sharing your product review. Randy

excellent review john great video

Nice hair cut john don't worry we will get them for you. Good video

Thanks John

Any chance you could do some runs on aluminium showing settings etc. Thanks for posting the demos.

Very handy knowing the settings for 1.6mm John, as I'll be buying one of these to weld 1.6mm 1.5"OD mild steel tube. What would the settings be if I was using 0.8 wire? Cheers

Fascinating stuff. What’s creating the weld? Is it the wire itself or is it melting the actual steel?

What about gasless welding with flux wire? How does this compare?

How does this r-tech compare to the French made GYS welders amazon is selling?

My efforts to date have produced poor brittle black “welds” via gasless flux welding. Is this oxidation?

hi john what gas setting are you using for mig, im not getting the results i would like, i have rtech 180 regulator

Hi, I enjoyed your video's but I have a question. When you are welding the sound is like a fast "popping" machine gun. Many times welders say the settings are not right when you hear this sound. Your welds look great so what is this about sound? Thanks.

I want to start learn how to welding, where I should to start ?

hi john got my rtech 180 and its cool but im struggling to get a decent weld, it sounds very stuttery and popping , ive tried the settings you used here but no joy , have been trying different settings but no luck, the weld look ok but the stuttering is very off putting, any advice mate

How about flux core no gas

John ivr recently bought the Rtec 180 mig just using strate co2 I'm just burning strate through on every panel I touch fresh metal or slit rust I've mixed around with the setting using0.6 wire & still no matter how low or high go with the setting im blowing through could it be the co2 as my old sip 100amp welder didn't do so when using co2 . Any I dears ? Very grateful

John, if you have a manual tig torch could you show how the welder copes with a bit of scratch start tig? Colin

Hi I have just I have just bought one R tech mig welder 180 Can i do welding without gas
