Haven't seen much about Inverter stick welders on here so thought I'd post up. I bought one on the weekend, not the most expensive but not the cheapest either, got it from a company in VIC that sells through ebay as well. Anyway, it's 200AMP and cost $340 through ebay, they also sell directly for $390 so not a massive deal via ebay but is convenient. They also carry spares and technical support. I called before I bought and they seem pretty good.
Gave it a quick test today and what can I say, amazing compared to an ordinary stick welder. Quite weird after a ordinary one as the arc feels very smooth, less splatter, very easy to strike and with a quick test it will hold the arc a looong way from the piece your welding. Oh, and it's light and the size of a portable air compressor.
Anyway, incase you cant tell I really enjoy welding with it, seems to make stick welding almost easy. Anyone else have any experience with inverter stick welders?
Cheers
