its omly like 230 shipped no that bad ...or should i just buy some new shocks?

 

no that aint the smiley, the smiley has a plasma cutting feature built in.

 

oh

 

And it's scratch start which is a pain!!!!

Would work fine, but wouldn't be nice to use.

 

can you build headers and manifolds with it? well hotrex used his smiley for a lot of manifolds, but do you wanna turn out like him?

 

id rather not turn out like him...but i do want to make a few manifols,and i know tigs do the best at anyything almost i have the cash right now to buy it ....and its gasless so im not going to have to buy gas...do you guys think it would penetrate good and look decent??......or should i just buy some shocks and call it a day?

 

Is that a back handed comment about the Smiley. I use the Smiley to this day and turn out some nice ----.

See my other post:

 

All TIG uses gas. Look up the meaning

 

ya i was just looking at the other post....i wasnt sure about gas or not because i have a mig and its electric/gas but the unit i posted from harborfreight would that be able to penetrate and hold togeather?..i know its mostly the welder but i know some welders just suck...that mani looks awsome if im able to make things like that and look decent i think im going to buy it...my mig looks like poop

 

no my comment was more of a crack at hotrex. I wanna do a super gehtto set up using a cheap $80 princess auto arc inverter, a princess auto tig torch and a sewing machine pedel thats about as gehtto tig as you can get, i just wanna try it and see if it works, i saw a write up on how to do it before
