Reply:For hobbyist, everlast will work fine for learning.  I am Guessing u want AC for doing Aluminum?   If DC is all u want for tig there are many budget priced options.  I would also suggest something like the 185micro or something with basic controls. AC balance and Frequency are the only advanced adjustments u need until u have a few thousand hrs of tig time....    pulse and adj slope, flow etc are for production work by real pro's.  For everyone else. They are gimmicks and crutchs.....   You get what u pay for in any respecms.     I tlink there are several examples of similar machines on weldingtipsandtricks with links in everlast forum.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
Reply:Buy once and buy right.  If you have the space and power, you can't go wrong with a transformer machine.  I should've never sold my Syncro 250.  It was all I ever needed, but I had to have a Dynasty.  The bells and whistles don't make up for a lack of skill as Southpaw said.  If you ever choose to upgrade, good luck selling a used Everlast machine.  I see them and other Chicom machine sitting on CL and eBay forever.  Go with a used quality American machine.  You will get money back when you're ready to move on.  Resale value needs to be considered in your quest.TA Arcmaster 300CM3XMT 304S22P12 suitcase feederX-Treme 12VSOptima pulserTA161SMaxstar 150STLHypertherm PM45OP setupStihl 020AVP, 039, 066 Magnum
Reply:I agree, buy once and buy right. I disagree with resale value as a consideration. I never intend on selling my gear. It happens, but I never intended it. I don't think houses should be bought for resale value either.
