A welder for dummies

At the Fabtech show in Chicago last week there were 525 welding exhibits. It's hard to believe how many little companies (many from China) are building little scratch-start TIG/stick boxes these days, but the big guys aren't dropping prices. Instead, they're building in some pretty amazing technology. One that caught a lot of attention is the new Rebel from ESAB. It's so adaptive that it's amazing. 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 |
