Someone out there must 'know someone' who can put a 240V single-phase AC/DC TIG set my way, preferably NOT a Chinese-made pile of 5h1+.
Something like a Miller Dialarc or Syncrowave, Murex TransTIG etc. etc or one of the classier inverter sets... 150-300 Amps. Most likely used, but a price in the region of 'sensible' not 'my mate has asked me to bump up the bidding on his Ebay item'...:ranting:
Water-cooling would be nice.... but MUST be AC/DC output.

Ta for listening. :D

I listened.

I could see the words, I know you are trying to communicate with me/us but I just don't get it.

Hey! You're in the States... find me a Miller for 50 bucks and ship it across, would you? We all know that stuff is cheaper on your side of that wet patch...

Even we TEESSIDE-ers struggle sometimes to understand Geordie, which is spoken by the inhabitants of NEWCASTLE, some 40 miles away.

It's a bit like me calling Mancunians Scousers...

Though it is fair to say that anyone from further south than about Northampton, sounds like a Cockney...

Theres nothink to beat getting fully awake at 6am in the morning at your workplace then testing the high frequency output on your TIG set using your thumb.

Well, exactly.

Though I find that a fat dose of radiation does it for me... when all the alarms go off, that's all the laxative I need...
