One of my fabricators had that on his machine. I liked it. Its great cause im ambidextrous and the smaller wheel style is tough to reach in certain positions. I have an idea that i'd like to make happen.

Been playing with the new TIG a lot... Started to build a cart for the welder and my plasma so I can move stuff around easier...plus it's a big practice piece to get some seat time under my belt

My best analogy for how it's going so far.... It's just like playing golf.... One second I lay a nice/decent bead.... Get alittle confidence... And then the next one looks like a pile of bird crap and I want to check the torch into the lake :) some of the welds on the cart look pretty damn good for a beginner... And others look like hell..,

Feeling decent on the butt weld..., still struggling with fillet welds.. Keep blowing through the upper section or getting a decent puddle flowing..,

Sometimes I feel like I'm getting more time grinding tungsten vs actually welding..

If it was easy --- your buddy RobW could do it.....


Hang in there -- watch some videos -- this is a skill set that needs to be learned and it doesn't come easy or cheap. Once you get the hang of it - you can sell the MIG because it'll just sit in the corner.

Oh trust me...... I've looked at 'em..... but then I wake up from my dream and realize that 1/4" material is as large as I ever need to go.

Before I bought my DX200 - I went over to a neighbors shop to have a fitting TIG'd up... and he had the 700... and I remember thinking to myself OMG it's like THE TOWER of welding! From that moment on I wanted one. I have no use for it but so what! LOL
