Oh Tigger



When I got my first inverter I loved the step up from my old transformer weld supply. Size, weight and capability aside, my weld quality and capability definitely became more consistent and easier to maintain. Also did some arc welding with it and really enjoyed the quiet compared to my usual buzz box. But being DC it is limited and while the HF autostart was great I felt I could start using a pedal so it was sold to make way for something else I had my eye on.

Birthday and bonus time came around along with a sale at a local machinery supplier so I took the opportunity to get this unit. First indications of using it on steel and stainless was an even greater consistency in the weld supply and while I have not had to crank it to 11 yet I will in time enjoy the additional range. When time permits I may get around to some aluminium too.


For now I’m back to making stands and shelves as my weld supplies don’t fit the stand I first built. As I also inherited a MIG unit it is a good time to review how I organise them all. More later…
