Buying a TIG welder SIP WELDMATE® Pro DC TIG/ARC Inverter Welder 120A

[aytact]

Hi,

I have started to weld relatively new. Nearly 2 years ago I have purchased Reboot MIG Welder 230V 145Amp from Amazon. What an awful machine. Can not create arc whenever you expect. Wire feeding is terrible, not constant rate feeding, sometimes it is stopping at the mid of operation.

But it was somehow doing the work. Due to being gasless welding, afterwork section was terrible as well.

Now I have decided to buy a TIG welder. My aim is to weld mainly 3 mm mild steel sections with less afterwork.

When I look at to the Amazon and other websites, either product is being sold by Chinese companies or it is getting so expensive. I saw some photos for Chinese brands which has welds on fuses to prevent tipping off. Terrible.

I have searched a lot, due to budget and due to safely use at home, and having post gas setting, HF startup without scratching or touching to surface I am thinking to buy SIP WELDMATE® Pro DC TIG/ARC Inverter Welder 120A.

But I could not find any review about SIP Weldmate. What do you think? I do not want to spend so much money for a welder for now.

Thank you

Whats your budget?
Have you enough for gas also,tig needs pure argon

Getting gas is not an issue actually, normally I am buying co2 gas from Adams distributor, I will purchase argon as well from now on. My budget is max £350-400.

I have a version of that machine and I think it has hf start.
As above though, tig is more expensive.
