R-tech digitig 160

Hi all I’m new to this forum so please go easy on me. I’m looking to buy a tig Welder and like the look of the r-tech digitig 160.
The majority of my welding will be steel with the odd bit of stainless mostly thin stuff up to about 4-5mm, has anyone got any opinions on this welder I’m open to other suggestions around the same price point £600ish My friend has a Sherman 206p AC/DC AND LOVES IT but im Concerned about getting stung for import duties and fees, any advice will be appreciated
Thanks Mark

I don't do TIG so can't comment on the actual welder but RTech have a fantastic reputation for service

I inherited an R tech tig / stick , and was a good little machine , I used it mainly for stick but wasn’t much bigger than a shoe box . Recently sold it to a mate and bought a new R tech mig 180 .
It is a bloody brilliant machine , and with the inverter technology it welds like a dream , I wouldn’t buy from anyone else now . I know I am no pro but for the price i am happy and the service I had from Aaron at customer services was 2nd to none .

cheers Sam
