Finally!
We have our act together enough to give you all some information that we can be sure of:
There will be two models of the CDW.
1. The Type 5, which is vastly improved, faster, and more powerful than the prototype "Sput Welder" in Caswell's movie. It will put out 100 Joules of Energy ( the Sput Welder would do 85 Joules) Is much more accurate, and is designed to stand up to continuous commercial use.
2. The Type 6, A vastly cost reduced Sput Welder. This one puts out 44 Joules, which will handle aluminum wire up to (and including) 14 AWG. It is intended for occasional (hobby) use. The Type 6 is 1/2 the price of a Sput Welder but will handle nearly any job that the Sput Welder can, just slower.
The prices are:
$250.00 each for the 100 Joule Type 5. (only the Type 6 is cheaper)
$150.00 each for the 44 Joule Type 6. (5X cheaper than anything on the Market)
You can place orders with Caswell right now. Lead time is 4-6 weeks for the Type 6, the Type 5 will take 2-4 weeks longer (sorry). The lead times will improve substantially in a month or two.
Each unit comes complete, ready to use, nothing to buy. They both include a 10 ft. coil of 16 AWG coil of aluminum wire, the necessary power cube, the necessary copper alligator clips, and a very detailed user's manual.
If you require a European 220 VAC power cube, specify this at time of order.
(edited to add)
Caswell is working on the web page that will have pictures and detailed descriptions.
