A welder for dummies

They grabbed students off the floor and had them weld with it; it made the kids look pretty good. It only has a few controls. You don't even have to adjust gases for MIG (although it has regular controls for the experts). http://www.esabna.com/us/en/dare/ It's worth a look. The price for being a welding dummy is pretty high these days -- this one is introduced at $1,700 -- but it's nice to know what it is you'd like to have if you could justify it. It's not a hobby machine but it's perfect for well-heeled hobbyists. -- slow eddy slow eddy is a ****ing moron: Many Chinese affordable welders have hi-frequency start for TIG. Miller has been pushing "welding dummy" tech for years now with their Auto-Set technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_UaYKse_Z4 |

I know what they're doing. You watch videos to help you find the "on" switch. d8-) Out of 525 welding exhibits at Fabtech, dozens of them were Chinese box-makers we never heard of, like Hsin Fu Chia Industrial Co Ltd, Jiangyin Xinlian Welding Equipment Co, and so on. They were all grouped together. In a show that had a record attendance of over 70,000, the rows of Chinese welders looked like Death Valley. You really ought to get out more and stop watching so many pay-to-play videos, Bonkers. -- Ed Huntress |
