    It may not be a Miller, Lincoln, or Hobart... But it's a good welder. It's what I'm currently using, and I have had zero problems with it. (I've had it almost 2 years)

    Same. I haven't had it quite that long yet, but I've been happy with it.

    Now, looking at it. I think I have the step above that one. I think it's like the Titainium 200, or something, not sure.

    Mine does the Mig, Tig, Flux, and can run a spool gun

    If I didn't already have a TIG machine then yeah I'd look at that one instead.

    My welder has high-frequency and does AC/DC so I've got aluminum covered!

    The Mig 170 would probably be good then. With as well as mine has worked, the Mig 170 is probably even more reliable because it has less stuff going on.

    Definitely like the all-metal drive system as it's standard in all higher end machines I'm used to using.

    What's that common saying again?

    PXL_20220413_154553441.jpg Cut out tome signs this morning. The last batch went so fast, I thought I better put some more in the system.

    I'll have a proper add in the "for sale:eek:ther" section of TW.

    Lol.!

    I have no idea why that "super surprised" emoji showed up.

    Bouncing around between desktop and mobile is my guess. Still funny.

    I dunno?

    I'm much better at building/making shit.

    I just know these signs are popular.

    Fuck yeah! I only remember seeing way back you making 1 or 2 of them.

    I wanted one but didn't say anything...nice to see you're making them available! I'd love one for the new garage.

    I can have those in the mail tomorrow.

    No hurries, there seems to be plenty interest.

    Thanks.

    That’s good enough for a professional shop. I have the previous version and it’s awesome.

    I'm digging it for the price. Only $90 more compared to the one half the size (7 1/4)
