Sounds nice, how much does it cost?

Ah, the machine I learned on I needed to ball the tungsten to do aluminum. I've forgotten my terms, I still have my welding books...if you want I could scan/email you some of the pages on TIG welding.

thanks for the offer bro, i've downloaded a ton of refrence material, and there is a site, ill see if i can dig up the link, they sent me some sweet posters to put up in the garage, with all kinda stuff and the diffrence processes for diffrent materials ect.

the retail price on the unit is 1599$ IIRC, but they have a "make an offer" thingy on the site where you can actually work out a deal with them.

From what Alex told me over the phone yesterday, in the newest units they have also added some of the features of the larger powerpro 256 into this unit, once i get all the details of what they added I'll update it here.


They are starting to also sell these thru your local Airgas dealers as well.
