Cool so a little update on this for anyone who is wondering,
Awesome little machine and really enjoy using it,
Getting used to it was quite hard but found out that most of it was set up issues, (gas was wound up far to high creating a tiny arc and causing me to hold it too tight and therefore touchdown was often)
Today wound the gas down further and found it too flow alot easier.
I do think I need a ball and tube gas meter to set it up properly now, and get my welding table built.
Been playing with the 2t/4t settings, pulse, steel and stainless steel and figuring out what amps/speeds to use.
Will do a bit more stainless now I have the gas closer to where I think it needs to be.
As for the machine though, for the £380 delivered, I think I made the right decision and does work really well for what I need it to do.
