Many thanks for all the time you spent doing the review on this welder, very helpful, you covered everything perfectly, very tempted now! Cheers

Awesome videos John, I like a man that calls a spade a bastard shovel. Nice down to earth and honest comments. Love um... I look forward to all of your videos seen most of them now. Keep up the good work.

hi john. I remember you from the andy barton days. great welding vids, straight forward talking about all the buttons and what they do. learning to tig now and your vids r spot on . thanks

Hey John, Lay that stinger across your leg at the wrong time and you will know why its called a stinger. Time to build some stuff with the bastard. First project, a custom machined slag hammer! You are really getting some great through the lens welding shots. All the best, Tom

It probably been said a thousand times but you need your own TV show ,channel 4s your future John.all the best mate

Thanks for your great video especially the bit about the additional control. It was most interesting to both watch and listen to your commentary, the later welding demo was great.

Congratulations on your success! Thanks for posting, love videos!

John, Great series on the welder. Super video. Look forward to your next project.

very interesting and useful ,thanks ,never used tig as yet !

Great vids, love the choice language.

Hi John. Nice new Doubleboost channel logo, and set of welding videos. Especially useful for me since I was about to buy a welder/plasma cutter. I looked at the R-Tech site after your 1st welding video and would have bought one of theirs if only they'd had a cutter included (I wonder why they don't). Anyway, I went and bought another 200amp welder that seems capable of all that yours does + plasma cut. I'm personally especially interested in thin Stainless steel, Aluminium and general cutting so looking forward to your plasma cutting review. I bet R-Tech's sales have been boosted to double what they were before, so I think your channel name is PERFECT for the job, and you deserve a plasma cutter for free. Regards Mark in the UK

Great review!

Hi John Really good video (again) really appreciate them learnt alot. Makes me want to go out to the shop and start using my North American Version Rod Canada

good work & nice welder

You made some Nice welds with that machine

Spot on lad!

It looks like you got a good one. Everlast sells what looks like the same thing in the USA, but have had problems with DOA machines and support is a nightmare

like the vidios nice to see its not all airs and graces like many vids.... I was looking at spending £3500 with esab I might save my self the £2000 and go to r tech looks pretty handy kit .... they might even get a mig welder out of me also

Just wanted to say thanks for your efforts making this series of videos. My mind is now made up, I am going to buy one for myself. Just considering either buying a 200 or saving for a bit and getting the bigger model. Just know if buy the 200 going to need just a little bit more and wish had bought the bigger unit!. Apparently adding a little helium to the mix gives an increase in capability, any thoughts on this? You just using pure Argon for everything? Be interesting to see the same settings used on all options of gas? Cheers mate.

Hi john am after some advise im looking to do a buy an am looking between this welder and the new digital one. Which would you prefer more

Have you still got that welder, and is it still working? Would you recommend them?

John that was a great review very informative thank you I really enjoyed it, I must ask though why did you pick the manual rather than digital version was it just the cost? or is the manual version better? the manual version certainly looks easier to setup. My Finance director (SWMBO) has finally released funds for the purchase of an AC/DC Tig and the choices are either of the R-Tech 200/210 amp models or a Jasic 200 AC/DC Digital or a Portamig TEC-TIG 185 AC/DC TIG. Regards and seasons best Paul

Have you tried 7018 rods with it?

Hi John! Greetings from RSA:) I am looking at purchasing the 160 DC TIG machine as i do not see too mich aluminium in my future. However MMA is important to me. Have you tried these? Have r-techs been good at Stick welding in general?

John, In this Video what rods are you using. The rod seems to be self de-slagging electrode. I Still use the old 12swg, 10swg, 8swg,6swg.

hi john the names aidan a fellow Geordie as it happens I live in ashington if you have heard of itany way great vids I've been looking for a tig set for months now and I think because of your review I will be buying one of these units I know you have had this for over a couple of years now is it still grafting ok or has it shit itself yet but been repaired ??? anyway I am also looking for a lathe I will be watching a lot more of your vids about that as wellcheers for now aidan

Hey John can u run 6010 on the rtech machine

HEY, I have the same milling machine as you. I am getting ready to Jack the turret up with a 5 in. solid aluminum spacer to get more clearance. Do you have any feedback or tips on how you did yours and things you may have done differently? thanks Check out my vids to.
