Anyway, to the OP. Thermal arc is good, parweld is good, I've got 2 r-tech machines, one of them a 201ac/dc (6 years old now) which I hammer on thick alu and it's fine.
Sure, more expensive machines are available... My neighbour uses a cheap and cheerful wse-200 style chinese ac/dc inverter and lays perfectly decent welds with it.
What is your problem with Rtech and Chinese built welders?wriax,you mentioned in your first post two companies that you were looking to buy a machine from,DO NOT BUY CHEAP IMPORTED JUNK FROM THEM.Thermalarc is the best machine you can buy,believe me we have at least 50+ on site.Yes they might say that Themalarc is imported from Japan,ask the supplier if the CHEAP rubbish they are trying to sell you is CE Marked,if they say yes ask them to show you evidence

You need to varnish our decking!!!!!
Apparently thermal arc machines were built in Japan until the tsunami hit a few years ago. It was supposed to have took the factory out. A welding supplier rep told me this a little while ago.
I would never believe a word a sales rep told me...They were probably built there until Victor took them over and made some changes...
Very good picture.You mention the Control Panel,why are you askng me to ignore the panel.

Not sure what you mean by brazing it on DC (I used to do lots of brazing and silver soldering with O/A), but afaik it was TIG welding. The puddle was only there for a short time before it'd implode
