Who says arc welding can't look nice.

The welder itself is spot on. I've run it at its full 200 amps in Ac and DC quite a few times.

Didn't like the torch that came with it so swapped for a CK copy flex head wp17 that I had.

The pedal is great in DC, but in AC ive noticed tapering off can give a wandering arc, although ive not checked if thats an earthing issue as I ground to a table leg, then have a 10mm plate on the table to weld on so plenty of scope for loss of earthing (new table woll have 10mm plate welded directly to the frame and an earthing lug welded tonthe bottom of the plate)...also, the current adjustment being done at the pedal is weird...but if you are using a torch switch its done at the machine (as is every other setting even with the pedal plugged in)

Mma works well, the pulse works as it should as well. I'm by no means a good welder, but im happy with how it performs

And a little stainless cutlery figure walking his nut and bolt dog. I used pulse to weld 2 tablespoons together for the head, no filler...just messing about really before I had the shed to work In and the house was half ripped to bits being worked on.

It has surprised me at how well it runs (touch wood) so much that i am considering changing my 200amp transformer mig for a hitbox 250 inverter mig, and also getting one of their plasma cutters

Looks like it running well with nice flow. I think I'll be investing in one after payday.
I've got the rohr 250mig welder and have found that to be a really good basic welder and was intending to buy there AC/DC tig set but after the went up the wall I put off getting a little unit for home use.

For everything I do, it has been perfect. I have taught myself to tig weld with it

What they like for verticle welding

I've always thought good arc welding is one of the most aesthetically pleasing welds on steel

Definitely the most pleasant not even Tig looks extremely nice on regular mild steel.
Tig is great on stainless and aluminum
