hello
I have to make a decision . Wich tig welder should i buy?
Use
It will be used once a week if i be lucky, on small things like welding something to put on my bicycle frames ( like install brakes bosses to vbrake or disk brakes. welding a suport rack, maybe doing a cargo byke from a mtb) and small updates in my tool kits. aluminium will be a plus because os light weight and many bicycle frames are made from it. I like steel more because it is more robust but has the downside os weight more.
Backgroup
i have no experience on tig welding. i have 2 mig machines (transformers) and 2 buzz box.
when i started i wanted to buy a 250 or 300 euro max tig machine. with will be dc and pulsed.
then i saw some ac-dc machines and i wonder why not?
it cost almost the double of a dc machine and i don´t know if i know how to weld tig.
it will be one time buy so make decision will be important i have the argon bottle and de regulator.
before i take the plunge i want some advice.
as a hobbie the ac machine will be a good buy?
how much power sould i buy? my garage has a 220volts 16A single phase
thanks
