Hi Fast line,Fastline wrote:Hey Pinto, The R tech tig, what model is it you use, are you using it in a work environment or hobby capacity, how long you had it any problems?
I've Bought loads of the Chinese Triclamp stuff, Can be a bit fiddly lots of the micro breweries and big boys use RJT threaded fittings, not as flash looking as triclamp but can be easier to use
I like the idea of welded triclamp fittings to accept my brewbuilder elements, just got to get my bum in gear and get it done.
I have this unit :

I've had it nearly 2 years and its been a fantastic bit of kit, and also the same unit I learnt on at college. The college unit did once develop a problem an issue with the ac, but r-tech fixed it quickly without a fuss so backup is good.
Mine gets semi-commercial use, making up kit and the occasional stainless exhaust and its handled everything asked of it. Of course, the only issue you might have is explaining the near 1K price tag to SWMBO
That said, AC is only needed for alloy - if you're sticking to stainless and mild steel, this unit :
