Thanks Alex, been abusing the machine for over a month, hands down in my own comparo w miller / lincoln ac/dc TIG pulse machines in the real world motorsports piping test from chromoly, dom, aluminum and titanium the AHP equaled or did better than high dollar machines.
Another plus is being able to use 110vdc which is more typical in a house than 220v unless you plan on doing fab work in laundry room ?
The Eastwood is a fine machine, but lacks features that are on the AHP an advanced user can run beads alll day and beginner to grow with skill. I have been helping local shops/ members with their fab work, trained some of them to weld, during the comparo I got their feedback and AHP was something everyone would want to buy and use. Some of the higher $$$ machines are being paid off since brand new they are $2500 - $6000, they wish they had known about this machine, as they have outgrown the Eastwood machine with vague range knobs w/o digital display, no pulse feature for AC work and overheat shutdown after welding for extended periods of time w. minimal time to cool down when doing cage work or when welding up intake manifolds where even a preheat needs 150A+ which will stress a machine.
The AHP AlphaTIG is currently the best bang for your buck.
