Thanks Oscar, have you used the Tig side of the machine? If your wondering what I mostly weld, gun barrels, rewelded. From cut up, all the way from 9mm to 40mm howitzer, so sometimes it is thick stuff!

The half inch and up is fairly a rare occurrence but it does happen, after hearing about the pro pulse from htp I'm seriously looking at that.

I was looking for something capable of spray arc transfer with .045 wire for half inch and above mild steel, I have never used pulse mig so not sure if it is something I would need.

Need some help guys, trying to decide between the esab rebel 285 and the multimatic 255, they both look like solid machines and with Tig setups they are only 200 dollars difference. I already have the Rebel 205 AC/DC and it is a great machine, other than pulse Tig is their much difference. Any input...
