I dont know if any of yall have seen the eastwood tig/plasma cutter with cart special. I believe its $899 if i remember correctly, have any of yall used eastwood equipment before or know anything about them.  I am seriously considering this as I have been in the market for a tig welder and dont wanna drop down big bucks for a linclon or miller just quite yet.

Only 9 days old!
Sorry, everything I have read says Eastwoods stuff is great entry level equipment.
Tip: Ebay, they often put their stuff up there at lower prices with either lower fixed shipping or free shipping.

Warranty is good to.

I cant say about the Eastwood equpment but if I was in the market for that I would got for them as I have not heard anything bad about them.
I have a  linclon mig 135 iirc with gas and a no name plasma cutter that is made to cut sheet metal may be a little thicker but only use it for sheet metal work.
The thing about plasma cutters is some come with an air comprssor and some with out and would need one. If you have a shop comprssor just make sure it has the out put needed to run the cutter.
As for a TIG someday I will get one just cant swing it at this time. Then again if you have a stick welder there was a post on what was needed to turn it into a TIG welder so may go that route too?

I have the 175 mig welder and it vastly exceeded expectations for the price. It doesn't have the duty cycle of a Miller or Lincoln but I also don't use it every day all day. I would assume the tig/plasma are equally good for the price but not a s nice as other.

I want to bump this up with a note.
When I finally got ready to buy this plasma while they were on Xmas sale I started checking out the consummables thinking I would pre-order some before I needed them.

What I found was a very limited number of reviews stating the plastic nozzles don't hold up and are $12 ea.

I had also asked about the negative reviews on the Plasma cutter itself.
Eastwood said they were working with the manufacturer to solve the issues with the units. They never replied about my question about consumable costs at all.

I would recommend you do some research to see where they are at before buying.

I was finally ready to order, but the lack of any up to date info stopped me cold.

I've wondered the same thing. I can't tell from the pictures it appears smaller than most I see on evilbay and other sites.

I'm trying to decide what my next move is.
