Replaced an old transformer unit with this Deltaweld for our trailer fab shop. We run .045 wire on 1/4″ and 3/8″ tubing all day long. Delivery was prompt, and the internal components were blown out and clean upon arrival. If you’re looking for simple, indestructible transformer power, this is it.
Andrés Colt (verified owner) –
We’ve been running this Deltaweld 451 for 6 months on 1/2″ machinery frame repairs using GMAW. Penetration is deep and predictable with virtually no spatter once tuned. Unit matched the seller’s description, though it didn’t come with the 14-pin feeder control plug installed. Outstanding value if you need heavy-duty output.
Nicolás Herrera (verified owner) –
Bought a refurbished unit to run 5/16″ carbons and heavy FCAW in a repair facility. At 450A 100% duty cycle, it gouges effortlessly without hitting thermal overload. Freight arrived in four days via lift-gate, packed securely in a reinforced crate. Great machine for high-amperage industrial shop work.
Felipe Navarro (verified owner) –
Absolute workhorse for structural steel fabrication.
Picked up this used Deltaweld 451 to power a 24A feeder for heavy beam assembly. Runs continuous dual-shield FCAW on 3/4″ plate at a 100% duty cycle with zero overheating issues. The paint had a few scuffs from freight, but internal wiring and contacts were spotless. Excellent industrial power supply if you have 3-phase power.
Gabriel Duarte (verified owner) –
Used this power source for continuous production spray transfer on 3/8″ aluminum and mild steel plates over a 3-week job. The arc is smooth, consistent, and handles long runs without dropping voltage. It arrived on a heavy pallet, well-strapped, though the lifting eye had minor transport grime. A bit power-hungry on three-phase line draw, but worth every penny for reliability.
Lucas Ferreira (verified owner) –
Used in a tank manufacturing bay running 90/10 Ar/CO2 spray transfer on 5/16″ stainless steel. The voltage stability under load keeps weld beads clean and uniform. Freight shipping took under a week, and the machine was bolted securely to a sturdy skid. Essential gear for high-volume fab shops.
Diego Salazar (verified owner) –
The unit itself is built like a tank and laid smooth spray-arc beads on 1/2″ plate during testing. However, the listing wasn’t clear about the exact input voltage taps, requiring us to re-jumper for 230V 3-phase before firing up. Shipped quickly, but check your shop’s electrical hookups carefully before ordering.
Brandon Hayes (verified owner) –
Put this power source through its paces on heavy equipment repair, welding up to 1″ structural joints over two weeks. Operates at high output without thermal trips, though the cooling fan is quite loud during long idles. Machine arrived in great cosmetic shape given its age and matched all seller details.
Andrew Collins (verified owner) –
Purchased to replace an underpowered inverter for repairing tractor hitches and implements. Ran .035 hard wire and .045 flux-core on thick channel iron with perfect arc starts. Packaging was top-notch with thick shrink wrap and edge protectors. Highly recommended for heavy farm or shop fabrication.
Matthew Grayson (verified owner) –
The machine arrived two days ahead of schedule, though you’ll definitely need a crane or forklift to move its 400+ lb chassis around. Ideal for permanent welding bays.
