I replaced my Lincoln Squarewave with a Thermal Arc 300GTSW. Everything about the 300GTSW is better! The size and weight is the first thing, but the quality of the arc is also much higher. The Lincoln had a lot more arc wander and the arc wasn't nearly as crisp.

	I wish I had some side-by-side pictures - the 300GTSW is 1/4 the size and weight of the Lincoln, but has twice the amperage output!		I also got a Bernard water cooler with the welder.
	I need the extra space for all the *stuff* I seem to be collecting!		Big bottle of argon, little baby fire extinguisher.
	My metal collection also seems to be growing.
	After practicing for several hundred hours and getting a few hours of 'hands-on' training from an expert welder, my welds now look like this..
