Looks like a rebranded china unit. If you don't plan on using it much it might not be a bad investment.

 

go rent one.

 

Not much.

 

I just bought one of their multi-process units, the PM205 to be exact, for some small side art work and my own jobs to do at home. I figured if it lasts for a hand full of projects and pays for itself then it was worth the risk. Compared to my Lincolns and Millers at work, it gets the job done just as nicely once setup properly. Some people have had issues with the machines or components being DOA (so they say) and having to get replacements sent, so it's hit or miss but I lucked out it seems. Sometimes I think it's just the end users not having something set correctly on the machine or consumables not tightened enough.
