as the title, im warming up to the idea of one but i dont want the budget to go mad, im not out to professional weld stuff, all i want to do for now is weld some alu now and again for myself, it wont have a hard life here.
i also know that for less then 3k in a tig your not going to be getting a quality tig but there has to be a line somewhere for me.
if i had enough to do id buy a good one but less will do for now.
ive read a bit here but im as lost as ever tbh, im no officionado on A/C tig welding, all i do know is try to get as much as possible on a tig so if i need it it ill be there.
1-2K would be about it budget wise and the closer to 1 the better but i want no junk either.
i have a miller DC 200A inverter here that could get the road and a few dollars along with it could put me into something pretty ok but thats a lot of hassle too and im not too sure who dose and dosent trade in gear, and the miller isnt a chinese pile of junk either so its not everyone that might give you a decent price on a trade in.
leaving that aside, i stumbled upon this girl.
its a tad over budget but it looks ok, but,
im like a crow looking into an empty crisp bag when it comes to an AC tig so id appreciate any views on this one.
and is there better out there dose anyone know, there are sooo many brands.
have a gander at the pdf and let me know what you think if ye wouldnt mind.
