I also have a Eastwood AC/DC 200 TIG, and the 175 MIG with the spool gun. I am very happy with the performance. If I was welding all day long, then I'd buy a large red, white or blue welder. For a part time welder they work great. The 175 seems to weld hotter then it needs to (start with the recommendations and have to turn it down). I had no problem burning 5/16 steel when i was building tall jack stands to hold up the body of POS I'm working on and the rotisserie I built. Just my opinion from experience.
