Looking for a bit of advice

[Danny1107]

Hi guys, looking at TIG and MIG welders, I have a stick welder and I'm getting used to that, I did a little TIG and MIG welding at college and would like more practice with TIG, I've been looking at them used on ebay and haven't really found anything cheap enough for me to justify buying just yet.

I came across this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-TIG-A...228?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item20ea2330a4 and was wondering are these any good? For home use, probably getting up to 2 hours use maximum in a day

Has anyone got any experience with these? or any similar?

I'm mostly interested in the TIG but a plasma cutter would come in handy.

Thanks for any advice!

Combo machines 2 in one are generally not very good. if it's a dc tig welder your looking for then I would take your whole budget and put it into a machine that does dc tig. Buy used and try before you buy you will get more bang for your buck. Avoid these tempting Chinese deals you see . They don't last and I have heard some have failed straight out the box. Most dc inverter tig sets do stick as well so you could flog your stick welder to increase your budget for the tig.
