    Yes I got the tip guard thing. But when I looked at the pictures of your it didnt have the same gun as mine. They e-mailed an instruction sheet to me. I think I got an invoice. And my plasma had one stripped wire.



    edit:
    If you look at the pics i posted in this thread you can see what gun I have and the guard. Also the stripped wire goes in the Pilot location, you can also see that in the pics. There are 3 other connections at the front besides that, 4 total.

    okay i figured out what the wire was. i got a pilot arc torch but after i did not get the tip guard i called and they said it was an extra cost. its not a big deal, just was wondering.

    As an avid buy American I have to say some US company is missing a market. All the US welders are built like a pro will use them, no one makes a low cost simple limited use one for weekenders. The exception is the tombstone AC box. From the guts of one of these things the parts price is in the $75 range add another $100 for housing, cables, packing, etc. Labor on a US production line $50, overhead 60%. That means they could make a 25% profit selling for $450 (plus shipping). Put it on a website and let word of mouth get the customer base. Manage their overhead and they could make even greater margins.
    That said I don't know how they expect a weekender to but a piece of equipment for $1200 he uses occasionally. Even then in the long run probably cheaper to rent one a few times if you only have a project or two.

    It already too hard to find information with the weak search engine on these boards, better to put related material in a old thread than start new ones. So yes I do it alot.
