Re: Everlast 255ext independent AC?

Sorry, I was going for 0.5mm to 1mm. That's should be 0.02 to 0.04". Hope that's right. I devided mm/25.4. 0.02 is still very thin. May 4 amp be to much? Isn't also the quality of the arc very important at low amps? I understand that it takes practise, but I mean if the machine is too "clu...

Re: Everlast 255ext independent AC?

@Oscar It's a lot of money. When I decide I will try to get a refurbished one. I think. I justifies the high price with some savings I can make. One of them is an air to air heat exchanger. They start at 2500 euro and I can probably build it for half. Maybe a third. The thinner aluminum the better I...
