3 in 1 machines
« on: Nov 06, 2012, 10:52:22 AM »
Anyone have any first hand experience with the 3 in 1 (plasma, tig, stick)? I've been looking for a plasma and found some 3 in 1 machines that look like they are decent quality and reviews I've read are hit and miss. Everything I've found is in the $200-800 range.  Any ideas?

Here is a link to one i found:

Just a fyi, all tig machines can stick weld. Most stick welders can tig weld. So, I guess, yes I have a lot of time on them.
As for a plasma cutter with it, how is that setup, do you have to which the leads around? I find its just easier, and better to have one machine that can do each function. Dont expect a lot of a cheaper welder either.
Dr.Maxwe001 – well i have a 15 gal compressor now and if I gett he 60  and then use the 15 as a reserve that wil give me 75 gal  thats close to 80 isnt it ?
