If lift tig with a valved torch is acceptable then the parweld small inverters are good.No I got a water cooled tig in the workshop.
I want a decent carry able tig/stick to do off site jobs

That was my question above^^. (Great minds and all that lol!)Well you've missed a very important part of the request.
Do you want a dedicated stick machine with lift Tig as an add on or a dedicated Tig machine with HF and a set of stick leads. With a budget of £600 you could afford either but if Tig is going to be an occasional thing then there is no need to spend £600 as good mma machines can be had for much less. If it's an mma machine your after to run rutiles and low his then the Gys 200 as above would serve all your needs and more. If it's a Tig unit you require again you could get the 160/200 amp dc Gys and still be in budget. Miller sth, Lincoln v160, Esab caddy 1500 ta33 type machines Pop up regularly used also and these are very nice top liners.
As you say there is 2 different ends of the spectrum there.Do you want it to primarily be a tig welder (with up slope/ downslope/pulse, built in gas valve etc) or do you want an arc welder that can do a bit of lift tig?
Bloody hell here we go with another R-tech verbal war again lol....Theres an R-tech inverter MMA, TIG, MIG, machine in the sales section right now.....might be of interest. Guy wants £700 but theres always haggle room
