I was just doing those same kind of blades with my 140ST yesterday. I like that feature where the Miller senses the current and turns on the argon. I might have to do another mod to add that to the 140ST. I'd never seen that before.

That IS pretty cool. A bit of circuitry and a gas solenoid and you're set.

Oh, I loved that bit about the razor welds wandering and not being a 22 year old anymore .... I had to chuckle on that one.

I just looked up the cost of the Miller. Even more than I expected. They don't have quite the same package as the 140ST but...

140ST MSRP $279 includes case and TIG torch but no regulator. (how much extra to add one?)

150STL MSRP $1363 no case, TIG torch, or regulator.

150STL MSRP $1750 with case, TIG torch, and regulator.

Thats what i was wondering , cost difference that is quite a lot of bucks floating around, As far as performance in his video if he did not tell you which machine he was using there is no way to tell. I guess you could throw the 160STH in there to get a little closer comparison but it is still a lot of difference on cost . My vote would be Everlast Vs Miller on this one, There is no apparent advantage on weld quality or function Just the fact the Miller is almost 5 times higher in cost .

Some of the Miller extra features are kinda cool, but not 5 times cool. They also have a 150STH with HF start that is a closer comparison with the 160STH but it's a lot more $.
