After a long wait I got my PM 205! I had to modify my cart that I custom built to house my units, (I purchased a MIG250D and Super 160P back at the beginning of the year) since the PM 205 is not even close in size.

I finally got the cart done, and set up the machine and was anxious to play! I ran into only 2 problems so far, the plasma torch had a loose wire, and I had to take it apart and fix that problem. The plasma side of the unit works great and I love being able to cut with speed and accuracy. The second issue is that the argon regulator that came with it is defective. As soon as I turned my tank on, argon was escaping from the regulator like mad. I took the regulator from the tank on my MIG and hooked it up and was able to try out the TIG function.

I'm still learning the controls, and trying to translate the manual to fit the new design, but I'm having a lot of fun playing and learning. So far I haven't had any serious issues with it, and have finally filled the need in my shop for a TIG.
