  • I only hear good things about them, and great customer service. My friend just bought one and I'd consider one too if my expensive one ever broke.
    I would also definitely consider going for the AC/DC version for aluminium, you won't regret it and aluminium isn't harder to weld. Otherwise you'll find people asking you to do it in a few months time and won't have the kit.
    Aluminium picture frames are always in demand and are fairly simple to churn out šŸ‘
    If you can go for 180amps or more it'll be worth it, especially for aluminium where it needs the extra punch because it conducts alot away to begin with.

    Otherwise 160 covers most bits and bobs in steel.
    You won't look back, loads of work out there for TIG welders it seems šŸ‘Š

  • @fizzy.bleach - Awesome, cheers

    I hear you, but I think an AC/DC 200+ looks more like a company purchase further down the line. Iā€™m happy to be limited to mild and stainless for now. Thanks for the advice. Picture frames, who knew!

  • Yeah get an rtech theyre awesome, the warranty is handy and they honour it without question. Last week my pedal was doing some wierd stuff, didnt stop working, but occasionally would blast a load of current at random times. I rang them to see if they had any suggestions, i thought it might be metal dust in there shorting it out somehow. I mentioned that to them they just sent me another one, im not even sure it was in warranty anymore. I really rate them as a company, ive only ever had excellent interactions with them.

    I have the digital verson of the machine you linked, same thing tho, 160a dc. I really like it definitely fine for framebuilding. Mine has barely seen 100amps hah
