Jim is spot on about Tec Arcs TIG's, they're made in China but modified slightly by them.. Still quality machines though.Thanks Jim. I did notice on their website that the Portamig and Oxford welders are British made but no such claim for the inverter tigs.
I used a newish Kemppi on Thursday for a few hours, it was nice to use.
Hopefully not annoying folk with all my questions. So what would be the best option if forking out a bit more cash? Say in the £1.5k range? I'd be hesitent to buy used unless I knew it came from a good home and hadn't been worked hard. I'm not a big tig user but want to use it again more (home workshop not a professional workshop) but I want one that welds nice and will last me years.
1.5K will get you some decent kit but for just over 1K you can get the Parweld with pedal, torch and other goodies.
1.4K would get you a GYS TIG 207 ACDC which I know is held in high regard with quite a few people.
Have you had any demos of machines?
