What a pair of twerps but please do carry on. Most people get their kicks in others ways but others can sometimes be a bit weird. Usually these people are called trolls. The last 2 posts are definitely people who want arguments or at least some sort of reaction and haven't anything better to do. So now they have a reaction – please read it.
I have taken the very limited advice that has been given in this thread. Just ignored one that I also had a pm on – don't buy. It will do this and that 'cause I bought one and it did etc. The cutter is a plus for me so the fact that some will cut 1/2 inch easily isn't relevant to my needs. I asked if anyone had used one more to mention that it's about really. Actually some one else on here has one and has used it. Why not go an pollute that thread.
It was petty obvious that the compressor didn't have a dryer etc when I decided to buy it – big deal. The welder comes with one actually.
What on earth do I need to go out and buy gas for it now as I haven't any intention of using it yet.
Wrong regulator really makes me laugh. It's the type I wanted. No point in a dual reg as the welder came with one but actually I think the one I bought will be fine.
Advice – I haven't asked for it that much at any time anywhere and when I have asked only get any from people who generally do help people.
The welder has 2 sad points so far. The torch – can only get bits for it from China and from getting sparks out of it I know I will prefer a flexible head. The gas input is naff. Not that unusual a style actually but I want to change it so will. It not really suitable for use with 2 different things going through it.
Good points so far. It strikes pretty easily. It's well built inside and out. It does makes sparks so does work. Some of the reports on them some time ago haven't. How long it will work for – no idea.
Next thing for me is if the compressor will provide the air the cutter needs according to the specs on other cutters with the same sort of power levels. It should but with hobby gear things can sometimes be over stated. Do I need to cut to do that – no. If it doesn't provide it I do know what I will do. Oddly I do have a reason for going this way even though the improvement will cost me about £230.
Frankly a very few people on here seem to be in need of a life. I can't see any point what so ever in being ratty because some one thinks something else about some subject or the other or choose to do things in certain ways. I most certainly don't. I just think ok do or think that – either way it makes no difference what so ever to me.
