Anyone have any firsthand experience with these things? I've been trying to read as much as I can about them and I could go either way on them. Internet talk is just that. Some people are raving about them, while others seem ready to exile you if you aren't Team Red or Blue (which, BTW, are 3x the price).
I have no doubt the Red and blue machines are well-built, and probably make great machines for the pros who are using them every single day. But what about a guy like me, who just wants to fuck around in his shop every once in awhile, experiment with TIG, and have the capability to handle any little project that comes across his work bench? Are they at least capable of handling that type of stuff?
I've been eyeballing (and waiting on) the new MTS Lightning 275 ( https://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/mig/power-mts-275-sti-tig-package ) they are about to release with a watercooler setup ( https://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/power-cool-w400-240v ). It's a MIG/AC-DC TIG/Stick/Spool Gun multiprocess machine and, at least on paper, should handle anything I might ever throw at it.
Thots?
