I am a hobbyist but when something does come through the door I make a bill of materials and quote, order, mark it up usually 10-15%. What ever is left over from the job I send with the completed project as the customer paid for it. It keeps the shop cleaner and presentable for the next guy that comes...

I just hate that its Chinese. Technology wise I honestly think Everlast is ahead of alot of the others especially in the Tig world. I hate to say it but they had that "mixing DC on AC before dynasty did with didn't come till the last update on the 400. They are leap years ahead of Lincolns aspect...

[sledsports]

Kill me?. I'll figure it out its switching and wires bub. Not rocket science. If I blow something up at least it isn't my spectrum or 1250 g3....

[sledsports]

And no one knows how to retrofit this particular torch?
