Fantastic info and links, you have all saved me money and time, I'll also
find this Ernies site and download what I can from there, all very much
appreciated guys, thanks again.

Ohh, and the machine I bought is a Migatronic 220, mainly because it was
both single and 3 phase, and I can't afford proper three phase at the
moment, i just run a transverter, which most certainly would NOT like
running a TIG

The American Society for Metals (ASM) has a great welding book, but the
first time reading it is overwhelming. It is hardcover and about as thick as
a J&L or MSC catalog. If you are serious about welding you will find it very
valuable over the years, but maybe not at first. Let's just say the book
doesn't come as standard equiptment with every Grizzly welder!
