Re: TIG welding machine

There is a lot of welding information on the web. Do a Goggle for it. I've been lusting to get one myself though I actually prefer MIG since it is suppose to be easier than TIG, stick or gas. Out of curiosity, how much are they here now? I've seen $100 units on eBay though these are with no gas shroud capability.

Re: TIG welding machine

around 10-15k. That is CHEAP!! It used to be 25-50k. I'm a bit apprehensive with china stuff - you think they will last? or do I look for surplus instead? Any TIG or MIG in HMR?

Re: TIG welding machine

Sorry I missed this .... TIG/MIG in HMR. I'm not sure. I saw some things that looked like TIG/MIG welding machines but these were big units so I did not look further.

Most stuff is made in China. Those not made there will probably be significantly more expensive. The thing to know is that quality varies tremendously there. By from this vendor and its crap, buy from this vendor and its world class. Just be picky.
