My next welder

[kyser_soze]

I have been looking at this amazing machine all day long. I even listed my old equipment on Craigslist in anticipation of buying thing quickly.I have been using a Thermal Arc 250 for the past 3 years and was looking into TIG. Then I came across this new 3 in 1 from Thermal Arc. This is the ****! Hopefully I can sell my Thermal Arc Quickly. I have already had a bite on my Miller Thunderbolt XL. It may sell tonight.

This is the Link.

Well I have sold my old equipment and ordered the welder this afternoon. Bought It from IOC. Indiana Oxygen Company, very reputable. I can't wait until it shows up.

no high freq start?....... does it feed wire or does it just use a spool gun?

It's a Mig, Tig and Stick. It does have a hot start, and a load of other topend features.

hot start and HF start is two different things, it looks to me like this is a scratch start machine.......you can scratch start any dc welder, I'm just saying cause they always throw in there TIG capable for a selling point- IMO, and if you don't understand the difference you can be very disappointed when it comes time to actually use it as a tig...nothing wrong with scratch start but it can hinder what your doing on some stuff

It has lift start. I will start to learn Tig when I get the welder.

Wow, that's pretty neat. That's what i paid for my Lincoln TIG and now I'm looking for a decent MIG.
