does that mean this brand isnt known?

Never heard of 'em, Italy's a long way away for back up/service. Closer than china though...

I ve done arc welding in the past. never TIG.

I know this question is being ask over and over.
any recommendation about a decent startup machine(TIG), for training purpose before moving to a more serious kit

That machine looks like it could come from the same factory as many other tigs on the market (look at r tech for example).....but If I were you Id buy in the UK ........least then you can talk to them......warrenty stuff like that. Try you local welding supplier you may just be suprised, my local one supplied me cheaper than I could get on the web.

Do you need the ac bit are you gonna weld ali, a dc only machines far cheaper, and you would probably get away with a smaller machine say 150 amps,

it all depends on what you are trying to stick together.


Welders are like anything else in life, you get what you payfor and buy the best you can afford.

It looks a bit Cebora-ish, maybe. Like most things in life, rules apply:-

1) If you pay for it and it doesn't arrive, is your Italian good enough to hurl abuse down the telephone?

2) If you pay for it and it doesn't work, what then?

As said before though, Italy's a lot nearer than China.

Buy one in England, a lot of (the better) places will demo it for you.
