This unit makes a great power supply for a "poor man's" dry rig TIG. I threw a valved 9-series torch outfitted with 1/16" tungsten and associated hardware on and got a 80cf Argon bottle for it. It's great for mild and stainless steel on non-critical home projects and artsy fartsy stuff...and yet it's light enough to easily disconnect from the TIG associated hardware to carry upstairs and out to the garage for some serious repair work using the "stick" welding function. The DC inverter makes for an incredibly smooth arc allowing for excellent puddle control using both SMAW and GMAW processes on steels. Great performance for a great price. A very good option for the home hobbyist on a tighter budget and those not planning on welding aluminum; it's the best bang for the buck.
