Well just focusing on the amps/duty cycle business of things... I've been trying to do a little research... and I came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8DV7lN7k9U After 9:15 he joins some 25mm think rectangular stock. With foot to the floor at 220 amps he claims it was enough. Jud...

Richard: Cheers for the info :) but just fyi, I already have an old 200amp DC tig... but its a bit lacking in features. I just used it a couple days ago actually. Its primitive but 100x better than my stick welder. I guess you could say my biggest concern is that the 210ext wont cope with some of th...

nah just ichiban baka (No1 stupid) haha zettai wakarimasen (I have absolutely no idea) lol DCallweld: cheers for that, I'll have a look at that brand too. I was thinking this morning that I think another big concern I have is that the capabilities of the welder I would get would soon become a limit ...

hey DC all weld: the name is a little stupid but it means *rolling-rolling* in Japanese. Its the name I use on all my other motorcycle forum accounts... and so I guess thats just how I "Roll" lol btw. do you mean if the welder I get will be used to make the structural joints supporting the...

I've always wanted to start my own engineering business though, so who knows what the future holds :p Trackcra...

Re: quality - for any of my personal projects or mates/customers, I would expect the highest standard possible and I am prepared to go the...

Hi guys, So I'm looking to buy a new machine. I currently only have DC TIG and I have a few finicky aloy jobs I need to do. (repairing/custom motorcycle engine work and maybe frames/swing arms when I feel adventurous) So originally I was looking at cheap ebay junk but I noticed there was no control ...

Hey drifta Just wondering, are you saying you can get this machine for $2100 AUD? If so, sign me up! :p http://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/tig-stick/powertig-255ext Though, I'm not sure though if I would want a digital unit, just because I find it easier to play with the settings as I learn/m...

Hi all Just signed up as I will be needing some advice on buying a new AC TIG soon. I see a lot of cheap chinese stuff on ebay, and I have been burned before with their junk :evil: but I can't afford to break the bank either. I was looking for one with AC freq. control for better control with alum. ...
