So here's my first video review for entry into the Wintertime Contest. Its not my best video work, but it should do. Bought a used Powertig 185 off the forums a few weeks ago. The video shows my first TIG welds in 8 years, and they need some practice.

Highlights of my review of the :

Pro's:
Torch switch is so light you don't realize you're holding it once you get the arch going.
HF starts work awesome and rock.
The arch is really stable and the machine is super simple to setup.

Con's:
Torch switch is so light I've flashed myself a few times just trying to readjust my hand.
Pedal controls 0-185 amps all the time. It would be nice if it controlled 0-"panel setting" so you can have fine adjustment in your welding range.
Online manual says max recommended thickness is 1/4", but I would only recommend that with preheating and possibly a helium mix for extra penetration.

Anyway, feel free to comment on the messy garage and other suggestions.
