What welder do you use Jim, Ibought a 200 Amp AC/DC TIG a few weeks ago and I don't think I'll ever use oxyacetylene again.

mig welder, cebora and the one at work is a weldrite , the weldrite must be 25 year old but will match any mig, never used a tig but sure would like to , excellent for exhaust work
