Now that I have developed welding acquisition disease I am now at a bit of an impasse, I have my Tec Arc 166i Arc Welder then Portamig 235 Mig Welder and now I am trying to decide between a Tec Arc Tig Welder or a Hypertherm 30 Plasma Cutter and a new compressor.
I only have a small ABAC 24 litre which would be far too small in air volume and would get overworked if I was to use it with the plasma (along with the risk of too much water introduced into the air feed).
The Tig welder works out about £1400 and the Hypertherm 30 & ABAC 150/200 litre compressor comes to about £1600 ish.
Just wondering if the plasma would come in more useful than a tig welder ??
Thanks
