Today be honest langy.there are a lot of options out there for that sort of doe.i just have funny ways sometimes. If I like a brand of tooling/machinery ect I tend to stick with them.i have got on well with the oerlikon range I have two of there units now..always been reliable and I get a good deal with my local welding store.i am not saying there are better or worse machines ..

You could do everything with a 2.4 if you wanted too

OK cool.i just wondered if there was a point that you change size in relation to metal thickness. .

Looks a thousand times more usable than the standard one.
Tip if your ever welding on galv revert back to the collets as galv tends to spit and pop and it will knacker your new expensive lenses quickly.
