Good pick up corey! How does it go depth-wise? Does it penetrate well? I can adjust the penetration on the controls. I've done a few runs on alloy checker plate and penetrated deep , and was wide and flat , also done a few cold looking welds where it's skinny and has a high bead. So yeah depending on the controls I can penetrate deep . Havnt used it in a while so I forget most of the controls lol Theres a few company's on eBay selling the exact tig I brought under their own brand name . Most start at 99c .

I have a Gas/Gasless unit and you will find that 150amp will be heaps for the job Troy. 3-5mm with no issues. Gas is better weld finish but if you set everything right the gasless will do a good job, just a little more clean up as Matt has stated. Gasless is great for outside on a breezy day.  . Offer of help still applies if you want, I can bring my unit if you wish. You can borrow it if you want to do it in your own time.thanks for the offer paul..  i think ill still buy one anyway as its always handy to have.. |

Hi Troy,
If you get a gas mig you dont have to use argon gas, CO2 will also work and is easier to get and keep as you dont have rent a bottle you can just use beer gas bottles. CO2 isnt as good as an argon mix but is above gasless in my experience. |

And if correct, insurance companies dont cover for things like Powercruised accidents. |
