5.0 out of 5 stars The Rolls Royce of Welders, April 17, 2002
This review is from: Hobart 500424 Tigmate 230-Volt AC/DC Single-Phase AC/DC Welding Package with Fingertip Control (Tools & Home Improvement)
This fine piece of equipment gives you the widest possible ranges for almost any type of welding. For thicker, heavier welding requirements this welder supplies the output needed to do the job well, but can also accomadate finer more delicate pieces such as decorative ornamentation. It is a pleasure to use and can make even a so-so operator look great.

This review is from: Hobart 500424 Tigmate 230-Volt AC/DC Single-Phase AC/DC Welding Package with Fingertip Control (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have used the welder extensively with great results. It is a very well made machine with easy-to-understand controls and directions. What little assembly was necessary was simple and easy to understand from the included video.

TIG welding requires some experience and possibly ome professioanl intruction. This is a very high quality pieice of equipment, but TIG welding is a skill that takes time and experience to master.
