Can't say anything about this welder, hasn't been reviewed here in the forum. Maybe there are other members who have availed of this welder already but have not shared completely its capabilities.
If your buying it and intend to use it more than just a welder, say as a cutter as well, may I just suggest getting a 250 or 300 amperes. You might be forcing the electricals and IGBTs inside if its the 200 amps. :unsure: If in doubt, get some assurance from the seller plus if they cover some warranties for the unit.

Just sharing my thoughts. CHEERS bro !

Bro velocitor, I own a JC Kawasaki TIG/Stick machine 200 amps. OK naman sya gamitin. For your project maximum na 140 amps and mukhang di ka naman magweld ng mahahabang segments so may ample time para makapagpahinga machine mo. Problema lang sa JC Kawasaki yung TIG torch nya. Dahil iba yung kasamang TIG torch limited lang yung choices mo for cup sizes. As far as I know walang available na gas lens cup para sa TIG torch na kasama. kailangan mo yung gas lens cup lalo na madaming area sa project mo na kailangan mo extend sitck out ng tungsten mo, kailangan mo ng mas malaking cup or better gas lens cup para adequate yung argon coverage.

Overall masasabi ko sa JC Kawasaki consistent yung buhos nya ng amperahe, walang fluctuations.

thanks for the feedback! i also saw this at OLX for P8900 but it doesn't seem to include a tig torch...

so if i go with the JCK i'd just need an argon tank, regulator, and some hoses? how much do you think would i spend for those?

TIG torch is about 2k to 3k pesos, mas maganda if bilhin mo na yung complete set. pero kung may pambili ka ng TIG torch bilhin mo na yung universal na TIG torch (I forgot the name of the brand). wag mo bibilhin yung QQ brand na TIG torch limited lang kasi yung cup sizes na available and as far as I know walang available na gas lens kit para sa QQ TIG torch.

QQ TIG torch

Universal TIG torch (ganito design bilhin mo) mas maraming choices for ceramic cups and madami gas lens kit available

Yes argon tank and regulator and isang hose lang from regulator to welding machine. I got my argon tank for about 6.5k (2.5k for argon, 4k deposit for the tank), 1.5k for a cheap regulator/flow meter yung may bola (I guess china brand).

Montic na ko makabili ng tig welder kanina with that QQtorch buti na lng pinagisipan ko pa. Then later came up with a store selling the hitronic with a quality torch thats more standard in size.
