Where im currently working there is the exact same model of welder. Ive just turned it to maximum and put a clip on ameter on the supply. Its 2 phase and takes 31 amps each phase. Hope this helps.
But what does it spike at when the welder strikes an arc?
Not sure. Too fast to read and this particular clip on doesnt record max current.
i was wrong 
It's a C63 (guess thats 63 amp).
Transformer oil is what you need. A decent welding supplier will be able to get it for you.
As for the single phase one (bantam), our one would just about run off a 13amp socket if you put a bolt in the plug as a fuse (obviously not ideal!).

- thanks!
That's outrageous.
A bit of 15A fusewire soldered in place of the 1362 is one thing, but not a bolt - that just isn't right.

Must be an expensive bolt - the fixing wiring is now the fuse protecting it
