Welding Tips and Tricks

Has anyone had a chance to check one of these out yet? It looks like it might bridge a power gap that I know I fall into. Pricing is tough to figure, I haven't found an online reseller yet but I'm still looking.

I think these are multi voltage machines. Works on single phase 480 240 and 208. wich means it will run on only 2 legs of a 3 phase system. I have a old lincoln idealarc hooked up this way 480 volt single phase. the voltages on the machine might say input voltage 208/230/380/400/460/1/3/50/60. These are made so you can use them anywhere. Is this what you have? let me know.

Thanks Anthony. I wish I had 3 phase in my shop. It's not even on the pole

Actually, the Invertec 311-T is Lincolns new Inverter TIG. I've seen the video and read the info on Lincolns site but was looking for someone that might have had a chance to try one. I've sold my Lincoln precision TIG 225 and I'm in the market for an Inverter. I'll probably buy a Everlast 250EX and a bottle of 80/20 and call it good but I never know what I'm going to do half the time.

I'm looking at this machine right now, too. baker's has it online: http://www.bakersgas.com/LINK2915-1.html

I'm going to see if I can try one out from the LWS in the next few months.
