175i air arc gouging
Hi all
I have a Cigweld 175i, wondering if it could do some light duty air arc gouging, ie removing bushes on 5 tonne diggers etc. I have a 35 cfm compressor so that’s not an issue. Thanks!

And also is the ATM going to be the same as the axle load capacity or should I take a 100kg off for the weight of the axles itself?
Thanks again

I ended up allowing about 140mm clearance. Looking at all the trailers on the market they look as though there is less clearance than what I used. Hope it works out!
