TIG Woes Over I hope
After my disasterous purchase of a cheap chinese Cobel TIG welder, I've been talking with R Tech, after an inital call I made, asking about
their range, they have stayed in touch with advice.
I've just bought one of their 160 amp AC/DC units, I did want a 200 amp, but, they advised against it as it would be too much for a domestic 13A
supply, and would pop the fuse at much over 160 amp, a company who advise against spending an extra £300 can't be all bad.
and I got £225 for the knackered Cobel on eBay, hope the R Tech unit is as different again.

Will be interesting to see how you get on. Have been tempted to get that Tig from R-tech.

I have there 200A ACDC unit, great bit of kit.
There service and after sales is fantastic I had a problem with mine, they picked it up fixed it (faulty foot pedal which had cause some other issues)

We bought the same 200amp model, and also had a faulty foot pedal that caused other problems. When I spoke to them it sounded like a common problem,
and they was quick to get it all sorted out.

My 200amp one is great as well, much better than the Chinese one it replaced.
No looking back
