I followed PJ's advice on welders and got a nice Miller Mig so I know he is correct..
I have used the Thermal Dynamics and Miller Plasma cutters and yes they are awesome,,
The prices however are over double the $640 for the Eastwood...
My dilemma is usage... I would not use it very often now,, and not on big jobs,,, just for my little jobs in my home shops... but then again,, I retire on 6/1/2017 and at that time I may be alot busier in the shops...
Oh my!! see my quandary ?
