Did you read the thread? ::)

Well an UpDate 8)

Did some interweb browsing and found that the Miller Econo TIG got nothing but bad reviews ( this coming from the Miller Forum and the more populous Hobart Forum ). I considered the SD180 but it weighs close to 300 pounds and it's an energy hog (read huge light bill!!)! Looked into the Thermal Arc 180 TIG set-up as they got good reviews from a few on Hobart forums but the $1600 price tag for it wasn't sitting right with me (I'd just as well pony up the $300 and get the Miller 200 inverter machine )
I got in touch with Mr. Adams from SmileyDonuts and he hooked me up with the same 200 amp AC/DC unit with an Auto Darkening helmet for $654 shipped to my door (they got to my house this morning) ;D

So, I'm happy now. Got the unit for a great price (with a helmet) and I have plenty left to buy a plasma cutter as well.

What's the spec on those 200A AC/DC units? Is it on/off HF start like the plasma combo, etc.

Re: Smiley Tools Welder.............What Amperage/Model Do You Own??
 

Not sure, I'm in Nor Cal and the welder is at my house in Fresno (suburb of Houston). Not to concerned with the on/off, I have no problem building a pedal or thumb control for it.

How did you get him to swing that deal. I may be interesdted in an AC/DC for that price. I'm willing not to recieve the Plasma too if I can tig aluminum.

He's been nothing but a pain in the ass with me about shipping and ----.
