I have seen a number of people post good things about Thermal Arc's
inverter TIG machines, how are their wire feed machines? I was looking
at their Fabricator 180 for about $625.

Thanks,
Bob

I have heard good things about hem from repair techs, but
unfortunately I live on the west coast and Thermal Arc just doesn't
market their wire feeds out here.
Lots of inverters and plasma cutters, but rarely do you see a Thermal
Arc wire feed, or generator welder on a show floor on the west coast.

Thanks. I have a strong leaning toward blue machines and I went into
another shop yesterday and the guy made me a good deal on a Millermatic
252. Coincidentally, he also quoted me a heck of a lot better rate on
gas (argon for my TIG and C25 for my new wire feed) than the other shop
did. I think I just changed vendors...

Thanks,
Bob

I have a Thermal Arc ArcMaster 351 with all the bells and love it.
Also have a Millermatic 185. Also a nice machine, but doesn't do much
anymore. It's too easy to dial up just what I need/want with the TA.
(I have the dual MIG setup). One is set for ER70S and the other is
308L.

Your Millermatic will treat you well.
