I wanted an AC capable TIG machine as I need to weld aluminium for a car I am building. Up until buying the R-Tech machine I had been using a very cheap DC-only TIG with the most basic features. The new R-Tech is a joy to use. Quality is excellent, everything has a solid feel to it. Great features.
