went to the pawnshop today.......

Napoleon047 · 10-14-2004, 06:01 PM

and i came back with one of these

a wire feed would have been nice, but this is:

small and compact, easy to store and move (i have to work in the driveway)

my dad has oodles of welding rod that i can use

this came with a complete TIG setup minus the argon bottle

either 110V or 220V (talk about versatile)

its in good condition and the price was right

Thanks

Napoleon047 · 10-15-2004, 08:37 AM

Im guessing $1100-$1500?

Napoleon047 · 10-15-2004, 12:02 PM

yep they start at $1k go up

914runner · 10-15-2004, 12:21 PM

So will you be using it for mainly stick or TIG welding?

Napoleon047 · 10-15-2004, 05:14 PM

stick for most things because like i said, ive got tons of rod i can use for free, thus its inherently cheaper.

when i start doing sheetmetal repairs etc, ill bite the bullet and get an argon bottle and some tungsten

that's an alright deal. that's a maxstar right? i think you can find them for $650 if you're good

yeah its a maxstar, you can sometimes find the base maxstar stick package for that price, but the full kit with the TIG torch and regulator costs more

kyle_22r · 10-15-2004, 07:49 PM

ah, that'd be it then. regulators get pricey!
