I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this unit. I know it is a cheap Chinese unit but as a hobbyist it will not have to stand up to daily use. I really can't justify spending 2 or 3 K for a machine I will only use once or twice a year. Anyway here is the item:

Simadre CT-5200D 200 Amp TIG/ARC/MMA Welder & 50 Amp Plasma Cutter

Looks good for $400. plus shipping. I appreciate any comments. Mel

for something I only need once or twice a year why bother buying it?

I could use the heck out of one but still don't have one.
