It's good for all the steel I need to weld (so far...) - I hope it'll be good with NiFe rods, as I have some CI to repair on the way to building a milling head column to sit on the lathe ways...
I'm looking for a TIG, when I find one within reach of my pocket, as I have some projects involving aluminium I want to get started on. Willie's Dialarc would have been perfect, I could have *made* space for it :) Ebay has some "spares or repair" TIGs now and then, as I'm of the Electronic Persuasion, I may go with that and spend a year or three looking for parts and schematics...
