One final announcement that we have to post up about the 2013 models...Another digital unit.
One of the best niche units we have in our stable is the i-TIG 200. It's found a big following by guns smiths and other specialty manufacturers. It's a reliable, hard working unit with a LOT of capability.
So we have considered what we can do to make a better product and improve performance and features. So we have developed a completely new I tig 200, which will fall into the digital lineup of welders that we have. It'll have similar features as the 255 EXT but as the i-tigs are DC only, it too will be DC only.
ONE very special thing it will have is the ability to fire off at an incredible 2 amps. We've studied the market and found that there is a need for this extremely low ignition point for guys that have molds and similar products to repair. It's been a constant request, so we've added this major capability to the unit.
Here are some comparative specs next to the current i-tig...
