Default IDEALARC 300/300

Jon,

If it is a.c., does this sound like a good deal in spite of the fact
(verified) that one cannot get parts for it any longer?

I don't like going from a potential of 300 amps to 250 amps but I want a tig
machine!

I hate to change in mid-stream but someone just told me about an Esab
DTA-250UM with torch and cooler for $500.00

Input on this PLEASE. What size aluminum fillet flat will this beast
weld? I think 3/16 flat.


Make sure it does AC. Many of the Esabs (and other TIGs) are DC only, and
require 3-phase power.
