Sell my lincoln invertec 250 to fund new AHP Tig ???

admin

I have a seldom used Lincoln invertec 250vs,  and from what I have seen I really like the 2016 ahp 200 ac dc,  one as it just seems like it works good and two I fix a lot of aluminum rims in the winter, may be easier on some of the more difficult cracks with the ac tig,  only thing I really used the invertec for was going into a building further than my leads would reach,  but I would be able to stick of the AHP anyway,  most of the time it is kitchen equipment so 3/32 max stick size anyway. and it is still dc tig so its still a win.  To any one that owns one will this do two three rims a day , half hour each , not continuous of course.  never owned an off type brand before so any input is appreciated .trailblazer 325 efi excelSlugger sawMiller 12vs Miller 135hypertherm45xpLincoln Sp 200 Lincoln Idealarc 250  Ac/ Dchougen and Milwaukee magstrailblazer 250g "1987"HTP aluminum feeder ahp alpha 200dangerous amount of tools

Reply:I have two, and would highly recommend them.  They probably have the best value of all the import welders right now. It is more than capable of what you describe too.However - if you do decide to buy one, I would get it from Amazon or better yet Tiger Sales (business by user Soutthpaw on this forum - more info on that here: http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...tor-Disclosure). Once you receive the welder, use the s*** out of it in the first 30 days you have it. If something is going to go wrong, it usually happens in the first few hours of use (bathtub curve). You have free return shipping in that period to get something fixed, and then the warranty after that - but you pay for shipping after 30 days.1988 Big 50 Diesel CC/CV1982 Weldanpower 225/2101968 SAE 300 motor generatorMaxstar 200SD2015 AHP 200x"The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." - Ronald Reagan
Reply:Thanks njs552,  yes, it should do those rims just fine. You also will get the benefit of high speed pulse for doing that stainless kitchen equipment.Tiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250
