I have an older version of the Orion pulse welder.
I like it so far. Just wish I had more time for the toys.

How much did the Tig and support equipment cost?

Looks like great results already, you'll be stacking 1/14 dimes in no time
They recently went up in price a bit so a system is 3-5k or so. Lampert is more.

That's the model I was planning on. It was out of stock for most of the year. With the recent price increases I jumped up to a 150s because why not.

I need to start tracking the settings by material type and thickness. Would be nice to know what's actually needed.

My model is the 150 S series. I found it on ebay for $1500 Seller boxed it bad and fedx smashed my touch screen. I was able to get a new screen for $150 I think but seller never reimbursed me like he said he was.
We were trying to use it the other day for a job but it was just a little too small for the task so went back to my Lincoln Square Wave 255 .

I was looking at those generic import tig spot welders a while ago as well. In my research I found this topic on a german truck modeling forum http://www.modelltruckforum.de/forum...angt-unboxing/ it has some good information about them.
