I just bought the Everlast 60C to use on my CNC table, replacing an ESAB PCM 875 unit I was having issues with (due to the hi-frequency start). I sold the ESAB, and am planning to sell my Miller Syncrowave 250 TIG machine. It is very rare that I need to TIG anything (only aluminum/stainless, I MIG everything else), and it's not too often that I need a handheld plasma torch either, but I would like to have one for those times I do need one.

I would LIKE to have something that does TIG/Plasma, but that would not interfere with the CNC controls, the reason I would LIKE that, is just in case the 60C goes down, I will have a backup. Needing a backup would not be an issue most of the time, but I am hoping to take the table to the local fair this year to do custom work on site, I really think it would draw a crowd. It would be nice to have a 'backup' plasma just in case something happend to the 60C during that week. It would also be nice to have a TIG on site if anyone wanted something that needed to be welded.

Does Everlast make a unit that would work for me? I assume not, since any machine capable of welding aluminum would be a Hi-Freq unit, but just figured I would ask.

Thanks!
