Any updates on this project or is it dead dead? I have a tig setup that's appropriate for micropulse use but I'm not sure if this will work for pouch cell tabs... Regardless I'm interested to know where the development on the torch ended up.

I've seen people spot welding with the blunt end of tungstens and short pulse at high amp. Perhaps I'll just have to sacrifice some cells to testing.

Did you hear anything back? This seems like it could be the ticket...

The real shocker is when you get the bill for the power supply. Pun intended.

Apologies for the dredge. Has anyone bought one of these torches? Looks ideal..

The Amada torch was promising but like someone said the torch only works with their supply and its 15k or something like that. This Kartoon guy is pushing a new product now and wont respond about the tig torch at all.
