get it right
arcdawg, i think the grinder will help the hobbiest buy getting the angel and taper right. as you said you have been TIG'ing for 5 years as this will be my first TIG rig i'm thinking getting the grind right and constant will help me with the lerning curve. getting the point right is important in TIG right? i think $200-$250 to get it right is ok concidering i'm spending $2,500.00 on the welder thats only 10% or about what we have to spend on a foot peddel.
as i understand it you dont need a perfect grind but a good concistant 1 helps, so spending 10% of the welders caust for a good grind is werth doing for me.
after i lern to tig and maybe grind by hand i'll sell my lil sharpie to help someone else get started, but for now i think it is important and may decide it's just too cool to get rid of.
I'll give you all a personal report some time in late Jan. or feb. after i get mine and get a chance to give it a test drive.
so far i have a 150Amp 25' torch with flex head and a flowmeter on the way to me and $2100.00 saved for my dyn.200DX so it looks like ill be tigging in Jan.
