Inverter welding machine FORBY® SMART MIG 145 X LED (140A - 60%) (synergic) (gasless welding)

FORBY® MIG-145 X LED - SYNERGIC

FORBY® MIG-145 X LED is a lightweight and compact inverter welding machine designed for MIG FLUX, MMA and LIFT TIG welding. In MIG FLUX mode, you can choose synergic or manual parameter control, so the machine suits both less experienced users and those who prefer to adjust settings themselves. The LED control panel shows welding current and voltage at the same time, and wire diameter selection makes it easier to get the machine ready for work. IGBT inverter technology delivers a stable arc, less spatter and a more even weld bead. Thanks to its small size and weight of only 3.75 kg, the machine is easy to carry and use in a garage, in a workshop or for repair work.

Key advantages

• 3 in 1: MIG FLUX, LIFT TIG and MMA modes in one machine.
• Synergic control: the machine automatically selects optimal parameters based on wire diameter and the selected current.
• MIG FLUX welding with 0.8 mm or 0.9 mm self-shielded flux-cored wire.
• Clear LED display: shows welding current and voltage at the same time.
• Wire diameter selection: separate 0.8 and 0.9 mm settings.
• VRD function: reduces open-circuit voltage in MMA mode.
• Stable arc ignition: slow initial wire feed helps ignite the arc more reliably.
• Less spatter: electronic arc control helps form a smoother weld bead.
• Compact and lightweight: weighs only 3.75 kg, dimensions 275 × 145 × 175 mm.
• Powered from a 230 V mains supply.

What can you weld?

• Carbon and low-carbon steel.
• Thin sheet metal, profiles, pipes and small metal structures.
• Car body, farm, garage and household metal parts.
• Stainless steel, using suitable wire, electrodes or LIFT TIG accessories.
• MIG FLUX welding using self-shielded flux-cored wire.
• MMA welding using coated electrodes.
• LIFT TIG welding with a suitable TIG torch (must have a valve) and an argon gas cylinder connected.

MIG FLUX mode

• For everyday work with steel, 0.8 mm wire is usually enough.
• For thinner sheets, choose a lower current and shorter weld length to avoid burn-through.
• Hold the torch 10-15 mm from the workpiece and move evenly along the seam.

LIFT TIG mode

• Use high-purity (99.99%) argon gas.
• Grind the tungsten electrode to a cone shape so the arc is focused.
• Use a lower current at the start and end of the weld to prevent craters.

MMA mode

• Choose the electrode diameter according to the metal thickness (2.5 mm for thinner structures, 3.2-4.0 mm for thicker ones).
• Remember to clean rust and paint from the weld area - this improves arc stability and weld quality.

Designed for 1 kg D100 welding wire spools.

Easily accessible wire compartment - the wide opening compartment allows quick spool changes and convenient maintenance and wire threading.

Reliable 2-roll wire feed mechanism - ensures stable, even feeding and precise tension adjustment with anti-slip protection. Supplied with a 0.8 mm / 0.9 mm feed roll.

Compact and mobile: easy to carry and easy to fit on a welding trolley.

Sturdy and durable construction - the powder-coated housing is more resistant to scratches, corrosion and intensive daily use.

Solid construction without external protrusions - reduces the risk of impacts when working in tight spaces and makes transport easier.

Ergonomically designed control panel - clearly arranged buttons, synergic control and a bright LED display ensure quick changes of settings.

Fan cooling and IP21S protection class - longer service life and protection against dust and moisture.
