I got mine, Great Machine!
I received my PowerMaster 205 - IGBT AC/DC Tig, Stick, Plasma machine a week or so ago. I've owned a Longevity Super 160P for a bit over a year and now. For my money, the PowereMaster 205 is a much better machine. Thought I'd share some pics, no Tig pictures yet, I need some more practice before I'll post those.
So, here's how it looked coming off the UPS truck:
And out of the box on the Harbor freight welding cart:
The accessory box as it looks when removed from the shipping box:
The 205 without the protective bag:
All the accessories laid out, everything you need but air and Argon:
Now a bit closer look at the attachments compared to what came with the Longevity Super 160P in late 2007 and the Miller 375 X-treme plasma cutter.
First the plasma handles; left to right, 205 - 375 - 160P:Guess which one I like the best. It's pretty close between the Miller and the 205, but I like the narrower tip of the 205 better.
TIG torches; 205 - 160P:
The 205 has a swivel between the handle and the hose which is very nice.
Welding rod holders:
No comparison, the 205 holder is very nice and a lot more ergonomic.
When I get the Super 160 P back I'll post some pictures of the unit for comparison.
