Ya I understand, some of those machine's mentioned are upwards of 5 Grand like the syncrowave.

In my honest opinion, one of those maxstar's with the hi freq and AC add on would fit in your budget if I could get some kind of discount. That would be new too not refurb or used.

I've read that the Maxstar units weren't that great. Everyone praises the syncrowave 200, but 1900 for a new one is out of my price range. I would think a used or refurbished one shouldn't be too far from the budget

Thats because their a castrated xmt, with so so adjustability, most try and run them on 110 and their duty cycle is low on 110.

The syncrowave is the Mercedes of welding machines, if you turn the knobs right a 2 year old could lay down a pretty bead with it.
