Well no ---- smart guy. I wasn't looking for a ton of tig welders, I'm looking for the welder you guys are talking about. (I should smack the **** flavor off your lips)

Keep in mind the 30amp unit Hotrex and I have doesn't really cut over 3/16 very well. I think the 40 amp unit would do a bit better on the plasma end of things.

Yeah, I looked over Eghey and came across the place selling New EconoTIG 150's complete with foot pedal, torch, clamp and regulator. They sell it for $1,338 shipped to your front door.
So I E-mailed Mr. Adams of SmileyDonuts and asked him for a refund (since my unit hadn't been shipped out) I offered him $50 to cover his listing and selling fee and he accepted.
I really wanted a foot pedal amperage control and the Smiley unit doesn't offer that. So the extra $450 or so that I ended up adding to the cost of the Miller eats up the extra money I had saved for a Plasma Cutter. I'll get a Plasma Cutter in Febuary after I pay the HOA dues, school and property taxes in January.
Now I'll own a Miller TIG, A Hobart MIG and a lowly Craftsman FluxCore (that Craftsman is got me started welding back in 97-98 though, lol )
Thanx for the candor/comment about the Miller. It's really what I prefer as well, just didn't look over the the 'Bay well enough I guess.

Oh Yeah
