Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've been looking at getting a HF TIG for ages and ages but I'm on a tight budget. I've looked at the BlueWeld 175 TIG (http://www.thewelderswarehouse.com/acatalog/Tig_Welder_BlueWeld_Tig_175_DC_HF.html) because that's about my budget, but I don't know anything about BlueWeld if they are reliable/any good, that kind of thing.
I have been spoiled as I used to work with a lovely Lincoln AC/DC machine that did everything and cost (I guess) in excess of £2000. I don't know whether I'm better off really pushing the boat out & going for a Fusion 200PHF as I have seen one for £750 but it's really more than I can afford and I'm only using it to mess about with steel, stainless and the odd bit of bronze so I was wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom for me? I'm hoping that the BlueWeld is okay but I obviously don't want to get it if I'm going to find it frustrating.
Many thanks in advance...
