brick sized arc welder

[oldjeep]

Anyone know the brand/model of a little 110V brick sized arc welder? I remember seeing one at Toll welding a few years ago, but can't find any info now. They were for light duty welding, considering picking one up for the small amount of aluminum stuff I need to do.

Even smaller than that. It was literally the size of a brick.

How are you planning on using it for Al?

It would have to be an inverter type to be that small im thinking.

Do you remember what the specs were on it? max output amps?

With an aluminum alloy rod. It is possible to arc weld aluminum, and I'm not talking gmaw.

I bought the 110v 80 amp inverter one from harbor freight. Wouldn't normally get a welder from hf but needed something small/110/cheap for a rental railling repair. Extremely impressed with the smooth arc (much smoother than my miller on dc). Also has a decent duty cycle (not usually a hf trait). Heard someone say they think its made by HTP america kinda like the hf plasma, don't know if theres any truth to that though. I haven't used it a whole lot but for $119 it was worth it to me to try.

oh yea it is very small and weighs 8 lbs
