if i can suggest popping over to here...

You can pick up a lot of good help, *some* of those welds look ok, some look dodgy but all will most likely do the job.

You should not need to re-run a weld, what sort of gap are you bridging? Any more that a mm or so and you will struggle.

Have you got an auto-darkening mask. If it is set too dark you will not be able to see properly what you are doing. Also reflections from the back of the glass can make it difficult to see where the weld is going, I have a leather shroud on the back of mine to cut out reflections from the workshop lights.

cheers,

Rob

Just looking at the options. It would be good if someone else had had one and could offer any thoughts...

Invertek optidrives are excellent, I have fitted several in the past, easy to configure, built in Wales i recall, I get mine from Inverterdrive.com, really good tech help too there.

Thanks for the share Dave, the USB lead looks a bit pricey if you ask me, should get that with the drive no?
