Hi Dave,

I think you should come over sometime & have a play with my 200amp Inverter Tig/Stick which i also purchased from Trade Tools Direct. I haven't used it much on stick, but there is none of having to strike it(Hi-Freq Start), it just blasts away & it's real smooth(slag usually pops & peels of itself)..... I haven't used the disposiable bottles as i'm using it 1 to 3hrs per week(weld time) on Tig so 'G' bottles is the only way i can afford to use it.

Regards, AL

P.S. Shame about BIG RED. maybe we should go for a look after you've played Fabricator....AL
