John after seeing part 1 I went and bought one and going the full hog WP9 also ,not been able to use yet because of lockdown but thanks for the lesson I watch all the time and it got me through the time spent in the Freeman thanks John stay safe from the Boro 👨🏻🏭
I have the same preference on torch John, those big formed handles are just horrible to grip..for some reason most mid range tig sets are supplied with them. It's always worth investing a little extra cash and getting a nice torch that fits your hand comfortably, after all that is the business end of a tig. Great review John. Thanks.
Yes... OK Mine arrived today and I'm Totally lost but I guess you seen my post in part 1 regards where's part 2 LOL... Right now can you please go through the process again for those of us WHO DON'T have a foot pedal as that's what I need to help me set up ohh and gas settings please seem some where about regulated flow around 4 or 10 I cannot remember or find the video So great to finally see it in action I will try mine as soon as you update with part 3 slope and NO FOOT PEDAL Many thanks.... Gary
My old Oerlikon/Solomig Mig welder (26years old and still going strong) has a Pulse function. However, I really want to try Tig and I am on the lookout for good quality used machine so I can have a go. Great video and very informative so thanks for the upload!
The first part of this review took place in November 2019. Obviously the Coronavirus has interrupted this series as it has many things. The welder had to be isolated for six months and placed on oxygen. It has now recovered sufficiently to allow its performance to be evaluated without any degradation due to effects of Covid-19.
Good timing John. I think I will spring for an R-Tech welder. I only have crappy old MIG and have an upside down weld a nut to a broken stud job to do🙄 Any chance R-Tech would let you whip the cover off so we can have a peak inside? Obviously the electronics are up to it. Just wonder if the fan blows across all of the boards and heatsink or is ducted to just flow over the heatsink fins. Don't want to fill her up with grinding grit and general welding shite just to blow her up. Top video as always 👍
Hello John, thanks for posting, I am thinking of updating my TIG and this was the one I was thinking of getting , this will help me choose . Are there any downsides? are you on a 13amp household plug or a 16amp blue one? Dont worry if you are struggling to answer, i understand how busy you must be. Thanks, Chris.

Thanks for the explanation on pulse operation, much clearer than the hand book.
Great review John. Please do another outtakes video or cooking video. They're class like 🤣
Thanks Mr Mills, quick refresher . Need to get my tig unit out of the box 📦👍
Great video. I like the setup on that tig. Nice options. Thank you for sharing.
This is really helpful thanks.
PS That was worth waiting for. Brilliant review. I want one!
You never mention the price though, probably scare most DIYers. Thanks for sharing John.
I like it . controls seem pretty intuitive. Now you've ran through them I'd be confident to have a play and im definitely no welder.ta.john

He showed the 13 amp plug in the video, so I assume that?
