Lincoln Electric AC/DC 180 Tig

[Windy Miller]

At long last I have found a Tig welder!!

I have just bought this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130427447380 from FleaBay.

Anyone have any opinions on them? Hints? Tips?

Nice buy. Cant help you on an opinion though, never used one

Yummy rig! Just PLEASSE don't forget to connect the water cooler before firing up the rig. I must say, I'm very jealous of the water cooled torch. Welding AC gets your torch right hot. One can burn your fingers when welding Alu with a standard torch. The water cooled torches are also nice and nimble..

Mmmm, I see the torch is a standard torch. A fluid cooled torch is worth it. (and don't put water in the cooling circuit.) A foot pedal is also worth while when welding Alu.

Does anyone know where I can find a manual for this machine? The Lincoln website has not got this one listed, and I cant find one that looks even remotely like it!

Have a search on google, ive got the bigger brother to this (Maybe slightly older model though), the Lincoln squarewave 255 with the magnum water cooler and its a beautiful machine, so so smooth, although its the size of a bungalow and probably weighs more than my workshop! But ive got the room so it was a decent investment, if its anything like its big brother you will love it to bits.
