    Originally it wasn't put there. I know, because I wrote it. Apparently in some changes in the site, some templates got changed. The web guys are constantly making changes, and it is hard to keep up with when they do or undo something and screw up a page.

    I and others have been clear from the outset about its abilities and limitations. To operate, you must constantly change out the hoses, lines and gases when you change the processes. This is not conducive a production/fabrication environment. Add to that the added parts involved in its manufacture, it does NOT have the same duty cycle as a production machine, and from a purely statistical standpoint, you will have more issues. A problem with one part of the unit equals a problem with the whole unit, and loss of use while it is being repaired/replaced if something happens. Is it industrial capable? Yes. Is it a commercial unit? Yes...But I am not arguing it isn't. I am telling people what the intended application is of this unit in the industrial/commercial market.

    I never sell or promote them for fabrication, unless someone is clear on their limitations.

    Unless space limitations or the conditions exist that I previously listed above, it is still my opinion that the customer is always better off with independent units. As I said before, and say again: Never had a person call me up and tell me they wish they had NOT bought individual units...but on the other hand, I have had several call me up and say they wish they had bought the separate units.
