alot of missinfo in this post 1
you can adjust the heat with a scratch start it called pulling you arc and the speed you move at alwell as the amount of filler rod used.

but hands down the miller is the best machine on the market. There warrenty is better and faster than the "other red ones"

Sure... and you don't need to have brakes on a car....as long as you ALWAYS let off the gas early enough.

I've found downshifting is far superior to letting off the gas or using the brakes.

I have one of the harbor freight tigs... it's a piece... but it does what i bought it for. And its not the worst welder ever; i'm betting its comperable to a dc buzz box with a tig torch and gas. I bought it knowing that it would probably be a huge let down so i had very low expectations but it's really not a horrible machine. I need practice though.

It's no where near the quality of a real tig but like i said it works for what I bought it for. Most guys on hmt won't need xray quality welds so some cheapo welder will work for them.
I'd still give one of my nuts for a used ac/dc tig like a syncrowave or lincoln square wave but for now this little toy tig works
