I like the ideal of a welder, generator, compressor combo machine. Dont know that i really need one, but would probably jump at the chance to buy a good used one. When you think about it a little bit, most engine drive welders i have ever seen can be used as generators. The welder hooks to the tail shaft of the engine, why couldnt you just add a compressor to the flywheel side of the engine and a couple of those contractor compressor air tanks to just about any brand of welder, and make your own combo. I probably wouldnt go thru all that trouble, but it should be easy enough to be done if you really have the need for it.
all the farm boys been haying by me and breaking everything. I never got my Ln 25 yet, and after I got my last issue resolved my tig machine took another crap. 2nd time in about six months and I said screw it ill fix it again another time and keep it as a backup and my lws gave me a deal on a new syncrowave 210 that I just picked up last night. It got late on me quick and never got a chance to use it and I gotta leave town for a while so cant even give a review on it yet. Ughh! I went with a inverter because my electrician friend swears it's the cutting back on the grids that's screwing up my old machine. Miller states this machine is built to handle a dirty power supply. Can't wait to try this dirty girl
