Hi, i'm new to TIG welding / plasma cutting so please bear with me as i may be asking the impossible.
I have a 150amp DC TIG welder and am a couple of months into a C&G welding course. I'm going through sheet steel like it's going out of fashion to practice on and am cutting it up with tin snips and a metal shear.
Currently i'm looking to buy a plasma cutter so i can bin the shear and tin snips. My question is instead of buying a complete plasma cutter just get the torch and connect it to my tig welder. Is this wise or could it blow it up? the instruction book for my tig states DC welding only. Any help appreciated.
