[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 49893, member: 82"] Good point about duty cycle, most good branded machines have a respectible duty cycle. If you go for the cheap chinese ones, they will have a very poor duty cycle and you will spend too much time waiting for it to cool off. I have a Telwin inverter stick welder, its Italian but when welding with 3.25mm rods i can generally lay a rod down at a full 160 amps, but then need to let it cool off. 2.5mm rods at 80 or so amps, it will keep going. I have never needed to wait for my 250 amp mig to catch up, even at full power. Get prices on gas, some places will only rent it to you, others will let you buy it. Over here you can buy them, but its expensive. you can however get it gassed cheap, just swap the bottle over. [/QUOTE]
