Victor Technologies bought Thermal Arc, Thermal Dynamics, Tweco (and I'm not sure what else). They rebranded the Thermal Arc Fabricator series welders as "Tweco" machines. Cyberweld is clearing out the Fabricator 181i. It's an inverter powered Mig/Tig/Stick welder (36 lbs). The tig is DC only and the parts are optional. It comes set up for Mig/Stick. I haven't had a chance to weld with mine yet, but I purchased one (as a portable stick machine if nothing else). I may get to it tonight. I figured I'd mention it in case anybody else was looking for a 180 amp Mig. It's 220v only, that's the only thing it's missing (no dual voltage). The Tweco torch looks to be a good quality piece and the unit looks decent. $599 until they are gone. Figured I'd share in case anybody else might want one. |

That portable table is pretty damn neat. I've been wanting to built a table that will bolt over the top of my syncrowave 180 with fold out leafs. I need to find somebody to shear the material to size first though.

I need to find somebody to shear the material to size first though. Yea, I was pretty impressed with it. The clamps are really handy too. For this project I was wishing I had a second one. I suspect I'll order one before too long. As you can see, it's a little smaller than my project. lol. Don't mind the garage, it's a mess. The Corvette chassis left last weekend and I have a lot of cleaning to do. I have a few more things to cut, fit and weld. Then I need to "finish weld" the seams on the outside and spend the afternoon with a flap disk grinding down the welds to smooth the angle into the 1x2" tubing so it looks like one piece.
