I am just trying to help my dad pick out the right welder

I dont want him to pick a peice of crap

any help is appreciated

 

Hi,

Its a good welder, but tell your dad to save up for the Syncrowave 180SD.

Its not much more than a econotig

 

thank you sir.

has anyone else at least heard anything about this welder?

 

I had one...

it's a great little machine, it dosn,t have full control over output wave patern.
it's starter machine, it will do aluminium, SS and mild steel... up to 1/8.

I sold it and bought a Miller Syncrowave 200.

let me tell you that there is SERIOUS improovement over the 180 sd... meaning I wouldn,t buy a 180sd now that the 200 is on the market

tell your dad to get a few more penny and jump on a syncrowave 200... he will be way more happy than with the econotig ( still depending on what he plan to do.. but you didn't mention that in your post )

kranked

 

he's mostly going to be using it for fixing and building misc trailers and tools

its for the familys sport fishing lodge so misc useage

but it would do the job when welding things up like manifolds correct?

I love my econotig. I have it at home now, I would never sell it. Its a great machine, it did everything i needed it to do in steel and aluminum. Its funny people say the econotig sucks for aluminum, you need to learn how to weld lol

tell me this sucks





The 180sd is nice too. It has a bit of ac arc shaping capabilities but nothing to write home about. My 180 works great too. I donno what to say, their both great little machines imo.
