Default What would you do???

Im trying to decide on which route to go, if it came down to this what would you do? The reason its in the conversion thread is because it involve possible fab work which i feel belongs here more than elsewhere.



Both with a Supervictor:

Buy a 4150 tb, or buy a tig welder make my own elbow, and run a regular tb?

Im trying to figure out which route, money is a concern for me, i would love a tig welder, but performance difference is also something im thinking about. I would be looking for a used tig in the 600-700 range, if i can find a used 4150 for a good price i would go with that, full price its a tough one


I know its a kind of an odd question, but it was just floating around in my head.

Buy a TIG if you can swing it... it will pay for itself after a while.

for real if I was faced with that choice I also would rather buy the tool cause I know I'd get my use out of it and if you end up not using it again you just sell it for what you got it for!

Deffinitely buy the welder, in a short while you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
