    Mitch, 	I will be anxious to hear how you make out with this unit. I
    am not quite clear on how it works. The Gesswein catalog suggests
    that the electrode in the hand piece actually touches the work at
    the place where you want to weld. So it almost sounds like a spot
    welder but the amount of current required for a spot weld is huge
    and I don't quite see how the little tiny electrode could supply it.
    So please give us a rundown on thew machine once you have it because
    if it works as advertised it would do most of what a laser does for
    a tenth of the money.
