ARCCAPTAIN thread

[PhantomEB]

For those of us who are thinking or already gotten an ArcCaptain welder or plasma cutter.

just picked up a 205PRO off Amazon And already thinking upgrading the HeroCut 35cut to a Cut55.



DISCUSS at your leisure.

One of the plasmas has been tempting....not using my welder enough to justify it in my head...yet

They have crazy-good prices on good stuff.

I want to buy some, but already have equipment, I don't have the time to use.

Ditto.

Can't remember the last time I used the welder.

How do you like the Mig welder? As the years go on their stuff gets more & more tempting. I was/still am always an advocate for the cheap plasma cutters and I believe the welders are getting closer & closer.

Was considering a cheap Tig welder but came across a basically new Syncrowave 180sd with bottle for cheap so snagged that up.

First bead with this unit. just look at chart on side of the door, set to parameters and weld. Love this thing already. Silky smooth beads right out of the box. It did take some you tube videos to figure out some of the buttons and ****. Only thing I say is no owners manual with it. I will be printing off the PDF for it like I do for everything else that needs fiddling.

I already have a Herocut 35i but need to get more air back into the shop once I get 50 amp power Out to this garage. If I need to upgrade I definitely am going with ArcCaptain’s 55 or maybe even the 65 for CNC capability.

I had a herocut 50 for many years and was always very happy with it. Upgraded the torch to an AG60 style and never let me down.
