: Finally settled on a welder.
rusted 12-28-2003, 01:47 PM In order to do what I wanted, I was into a MM210 with spool gun, $1500 minimum for two gas bottles, etc etc. That's TIG territory, so after some research:
ThermalArc Pro-Wave 185 TSW (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2583466631&category=45031)
Apparently capable of a true 200amps TIG at higher duty cycle than advertised. Good support in my area. Unfortunately it's a Japanese machine, but I can't get into an American inverter with those features for that money. The Miller 180 SD is a great proven machine, but I don't want that huge current draw at a lower output than the T/A 185. So anyway, by next Christmas, The Boss is already on board. Good thing we spent all that money for her acrylic painting this year! :laughing:

You should b e able to find a MM210 w/ helmet, w/ spool gun for about $1200.

No, you cannot get a MM210 for that kind of money with a spoolgun anymore. They aren't offering the free spoolgun anymore, and with those accessories you're past $1700 on cyberweld.com, which is the price of the T/A 185.

you waitin a year, you never know that deal could come up again.
But 1800 for the TIG, two tanks, thats probably bringing you up to $2100, helmet thats now up to $2200.
