Default Got my Chinese Tig/Plasma 56k

Never psoted this awhile back. CT416D off ebay. This one is a UNITED (Rebadged Rhiland I'm sure.).
Seems to be alot better made than the Parker's, which have short wires & fishing line in them...
All the components seem descently assembled, minus a tiny mistake, but it's not a big deal. (Two bolts where the air regulator mount on back are about 1/2mm too close. Quick bend with pliers solved that. Duct tape could have done it also...)
Internals like nice enough... Thermal grease on the heat sinks, all the wires have slack. I don't like the hose barb air inlet, but a $1.50 1/4" air hose barb to hook it to a normal air hose is no big deal. So... It's not impressive, but it's not cheap crap. It's light as a ----------er too. Gotta love the inverter tech!
This one is the dual voltage. It'll swap between 110v & 220v automatically. I think I'm going to splice it up & wire both in. Since I'ev got 30amp 220v in the basement, but it's ungodly handy to have 110v welders you can sling around.
Gotta get afew things to get it going. Just thought I'd show some pics.

I will later. I'll mount another pair of 120v fans too. See if I can get that duty cyle plasma cutting at 40amps up to 100%.
LMAO! That's after the warranty runs out tho... I wanted a smiley forever ago, but the dual voltage kicked my ***. For $100 It's just too much handier to have around.

Besides... At school I weld with a Lincoln 350MP all day long. I've got 3 110v sockets beside me & access to shop air. If anything else... I can have a plasma cutter @ my works tation. Talk about handy ------- ----. LoL! Now all I need is wifi, or a digital cell signal so I can watch **** while I dick around on expencive ----!
