Yup .. it's 199.00 online too. I bought it in the store as my latest
catalogue shows $259 which is what I paid in the store. Such is the fate of
the impulse buyer Maybe I should go complain at the store and see if I
can get the diff back Or take it back and then order it online?? LOL

That's the reason I was looking at it myself. I have a BIG stick/TIG
machine and was looking for something more portable. I figured on using
it for light steel work and decorative stuff. Looks like I'll have to
buy one and play with it some....
Wonder if a foot control could be wired in.

Yes, that is the one, and the knob on the torch is for controling gas
flow
and is just a valve.
I am pretty sure the electrode is just straight tungsten and only
1/16". I
am going to pickup some thoriated and zirconated electrodes and seeif
they
don't work better. I also plan to get some larger diameter sticks.
I had pretty low expectations when I bought it and nobody in the store
could
tell me anything about it. I am hoping that with a larger doped
electrode
and DCEP I can do a bit of aluminum welding with it on smaller stuff.
I was
hoping it would fill a niche in my welding tools for small stuff that
is
hard for the bigger MIG to weld and not worth the effort to dig out
the big
TIG stuff. The old miller with HF head is not easy to get to do small
work
with.
Main purpose of posting was to let others know a bit more about the
machine.

Glenn,
Is this item # 91811 ? I thought the knob on the TIG torch was the
control knob? Scratch start and TIG? Wonder if that is the reason
the
electrode keeps balling. Kind of hard not to contaminate the
electrode
with scratch start.

yesterday.
