Got it off Union Mart site, not bay as they gave a 5% discount, I'd ummed and arrred for a while, but I've got a seat base and a tank to repair for an old Jap bike to do, spent best part of 6 months on and off doing bathroom, so though I'd give one a shot.
Reviews are pretty good, and I'm not fooling myself that I'm going to be knocking up stainless manifolds with it, I'm just a fool in his garage playing about.
I looked at R tech and no doubt it's superior kit, but lots of lower end stuff is re branded PRC stuff, despite the German sounding name of ROHR it's just basic kit.
Instructions are tat, extras like mask is a poop scoop, but the rest looks good, all switches look and feel nice, clamps are better than my old SIP, torch looks good quality, case is well made, what's inside.....I don't know, no pedal, basic two pin on/off switch on torch.
I've gone with another Hobbyweld cylinder but in pure argon flavour, a ton deposit and £48 inc VAT for a fill ( 9L), another reg and some tungstens, so I'm about £400 all in, cheapest R tech was 370 plus vat, plus gas bottle, so I'd be nearer 600 with that, a SIP would be a bit cheaper than that, after that you're getting near a grand and after that.....well that's not fart skinning budget.....
I did toy with selling my current MIG and getting a better one with more amperage control, mine is a crap toggle switch affair, as I know TIG may be beyond my ability, but I'll have a play and see how it goes, worse comes to worse, bottle goes back, I get deposit back, tat TIG goes on ebay, or gathers dust on shelf.......don't try, don't find out.
