^^^^^ i might tak you up on that offer...how much did gas and a torch run you with that thing?

dohc

Gas is cheap, maybe $40 including the bottle, you kinda "rent" them from the welding stores...I dont remember what the torch cost, I have a bunch of extra tips/cups etc also

Turdbo

cool i'll just buy it from you then..think tractor supply has gas i could buy?

Turdbo

i got that same welder...its an ok unit to start with and it does a good job...but that doesnt change the fact that its a scratch start...so it take a lil bit to get used to

Turdbo

what is scratch start?..im kindof a newb at this tig stuff...is it like starting a torch you have to use the little sparker thing or do you have to hit the wire a certain way on the metal to get the weld started?

u have to scratch the stinger on the torch to start the arc
