I hope I never have to do a critical weld on cast. I practiced on a different piece of scrap cast. I couldn't keep it from undercutting, but other than that it worked OK. It does do what they say it does, but alot of other quality O/A welders will probably do the same jobs equally well.
Some love it, others hate it, often for not being able to adapt to the pistolgrip after learning to use conventional O/A welders first. I did my research, thought about what kind of welding I would be doing, where I'd be doing it (limited access to electricity) and the Dillon is what ended up fitting my needs and "wants" best - the only option here would have been a TIG and at the same price that would mean one from the stoneage or some chinese junk - the difficulty getting parts if it breaks made me run away from those options!ĭoing that research I heard and read alot about what other people think about it. But I am just an amateur, and this is the only welder I have and can use so I have nothing else to compare it to. Cutlikeplasma also has some videos, but older and lower quality. I know nothing about Amweld, I just like their demo videos on Youtube - there are other sellers like and a guy from there ("Henrob Jim" I think) has been answering alot of questions about it at the Metalmeet forum. Bought mine used a couple of years ago, manufacturing date says 1985 and it's still going strong.
I've got an old Dillon, the same as the Henrob/Cobra 2000/DHC2000 but the name has changed through the years.
