I just ordered One of These. A Longevity 160SX. It appears to be the exact manufacturer and sister to your 200. This one has a stick attachment that the Eastwood doesn't, but other than that, the chassis, torch, pedal, etc...appear the same. They also offer the 200, but looking at the 110 specs, they are the same between the 160 and 200, only when operating at 220 do you see the benefit of the 200 over the 160.
Amazon sells them for $649 free shipping and they have a 5 year warranty. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.longevity-inc.com-100-1342134310.1.jpg) |

I did this with my TIG.
This section of the filler panel was hammer to shit by a previous poor repair. I couldn't work the metal because of the trunk hinge mount directly under the panel. So I cut it out and replaced the piece.   Here's the end result.  |

I haven't tried my welder with the 110 adaptor. I think it should work nice. Tip: get the big Argon gas cylinder. I have two mediums. I was running out of gas on the weekend all the time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I ended up just buying a second tank so I had a back up.
I also purchased a dedicated 4-5" bench grinder from Harbor freight. I set it up with two fine grinding wheels. I painted one grinding wheel red and the other green to match the tungsten for steel and Aluminum. You shouldn't cross contaminate the alloys when sharping them. I have a battery opporated drill I use to spin the tungsten when grinding a point on them. |

What gas pressure are you running Rick? I use my 5' tall bottle for about 6 months and run around 12psi.

I was running @ 15psi. but I may have had a leak or defective regulator. I ended up replacing the cheap regulator with a flow meter. I worked my way down to 12psi but the welds didn't appear to be as clean. I haven't run the thing now for a couple months. No time. I'm working 7 days a week from 7am to 1am.
