I’m new to tig although i am very experienced in stick, mig and oxy-acet welding. The unit was easy to set up and simple to get started on and seems to be functioning smoothly. Much random scrap is now merged into a large lump of scrap. The machine will be used for fabrication of thin stainless and layered welding on hotspot joints in mass heating systems as well as thin panel work on cars. I am pleased with the results and the relative gentleness of the process. I use a decades old TopWeld stick welder and SIP 150mig and a cut 50 plasma. I’ put the r-tech on top for quality of build and straight portability, it’s very satisfying to use and looks good, mind you he top wild is red with rust so comparing the two is a shade unfair. Until i do critical work with it i can’t comment on finished work but once i feel confident That it will do the job well, based on my various experiments. With a small argon bottle i’d say this is perfect fir someone with mobility in mind and certainly good fir any small workshop. Specs say it can deal with 10mm joints with multiple pass but my need don’t stretch higher the 5mm and this *** just zips the stuff together. I might buy an r-tech plasma unit too, my cut 50 is idiosyncratic and needs replacing for my own sanity, as the style and build quality looks the same. Confidence inspiring.

Very good welder very good value.

Looks like a good bit of kit, I just need to learn how to use it!

Great machine and fantastic customer service

Product will be used on 1-3mm stainless pipe for m/c exhausts, I would recomend as unit came with everything needed bar the gas, A more indepth user manual could be of help as the pulse feature and 2t/4t swich is alien to me, but after an afternoon of playing things are looking good, The only problem I had was the mains switch on the back wouyld not turn off, if held it would latch off but when let go spring back to the on position, I would hazard a guess that the unit was hot and wanted the fan to keep running, and until unit was cool enough would not switch off, as I said its a guess as no mention in manual, yes I'm a total beginner and a competant MIG and stick welder
