WOW, OK now that does it...I'm jealous! :B Even I don't have a tig set up at my house. I have to use the one at work. But then I don't pay for the shielding gas, rods, or tungsten, or nozzles or any of that. Quiet, don't tell my boss I'm spending his money. Ha-ha. No really, it's kind of a free benefit. The boss does not really care.
I have never heard of that brand of welder here in the U.S. it looks like a cool unit. I'm going to have to go do the conversion on dollars to pounds to understand what you payed for it. I'm going to say it one more time...I'm jealous.
I know what you mean by it's slower but it's also faster. Ya, hard to understand if you have never tried to tig weld. Hey how are your eyeballs? When I weld now days I need to wear some reading glasses to see the puddle clearly. I'm getting older now, darn. I like to wear the glasses instead of the magnifier lens in my helmet. The magnifier lens makes a double image from the reflection when I weld.
A "joggler" well OK. I work with heavy plate and pipes mostly, I haven't done too much sheet metal at work. I don't know, maybe that's what it's called here also, I don't know.
I just looked at the conversion of pounds to dollars. 800 pounds is about $1250 dollars. That's about right. I know that's not cheap. But you will get years of use out of it. It will pay for itself in a couple of jobs I hope. I bet one day you will not have time to go work for someone else because you have too many side jobs to do yourself. Time to be your own boss. :C
Keep it up, it's looking good. That last weld looks perfect.
I see that you do have one of those things that crimps the edge of the sheet metal. I've never seen one like that. Cool. What did you call it? I've never heard it called that before. You must be from some other country than me. Ha-ha.
Hey does that welder have the high frequency to weld aluminum? AC/DC
