asking this on behalf of my dad;
does anyone have a tig or know about them? my dad wants to get one and wants to know what r some reputable brands
alrdy has a mig and arc welder but wants a tig for small jobs
tig welder
The brands are much of a muchness these days, we have a CIG and a WIA tig at the workshop, both are good to use. They can be expensive to run though, as you need argon gas rather than migsheild or co2, and I believe you need different tips for stainless, ally etc
CIG & WIA are highly regarded in industry. If you have a welding supplies store in the area they will prefer to sell reliable machines as they will be well aware bad news not only travels faster - it is louder. There are a few combination machines on the market now that I find tempting but am hesitant to indulge due to a fear of 'more to go wrong' Trade Tools http://www.tradetools.com/home.aspx have one such machine as do Grudge Imports http://www.grudge.com.au/. My biggest requirement when I replace my current welder is inverter technology.
Another I am impressed with is the DHC 2000 http://www.amweld.com.au/
