Also on the Argon tank I would go with the 80. But that's not entirely an informed opinion. I don't have a tank (yet) for my welder, but I've been looking extensively and I think the 80 is a better buy in the long run. But I suppose it also depends on how much you are going to use it. If all you...
That's a really good price!
The Welder I bought recently, An ArcCaptain 200 will do TIG. Though you have to buy the TIG torch separately. I really like the multi-functionality as I can also do stick, MIG with gas or not and Aluminum with a spool gun. And it will also do spot welds.

Thanks Gliden...My wife passed away last year and left a small life insurance policy that covered all of it and then some. The deck turned out to be double what I had originally budgeted, so the extra money was needed. And my old welder was simply not up to the task of doing the iron work. And I...

Wood is Koa
Blade is 1075 with a wisp of a Hamon
Sheath is Water Buffalo.
I talked to both the Hot Shot dealer and the Evenheat dealer at the last Blade Show West. While I don't remember the details I came away with the impression that the Evenheat ovens are a much better value. Just my two cents
