I took a risk and bought the Titanium Welder and Plasma Cutter 45amp from Harbor Freight. I used them for first time today and was very pleased. Cut and welded some 1/4” c-channel. Plasma cut quick and Mig had great penetration. Ran both on 220v service.

Plan to look for a gas bottle next. Also want to learn to TIG.

Nice, I will be interested in your reviews. I have been looking around for a TIG to do some S.S. work. And since I have been looking, this comes across my FB news feed frequently. Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC TIG Welder for Sale – Eastwood , but not pulling the trigger on purchasing anything yet.

I've been looking at these too and the cheap chinese ones on Amazon that actually get decent reviews too. Nice to have both for the bus conversion.

I’ve completed several projects and still very pleased with these tools. Pretty critical to keep fresh tips and cups in the plasma torch.

I also added a Band saw from Harbor Freight. Make cuts so much faster and straighter. Setup the cut and walk away to work on another task while the saw chews away.

Here’s a couple photos of recent work. Gonna add an integrated dog kennel in the desk project this week.
