Looking for TIG welding machine
I had a chance to do some practice work with my Dads TIG machine, but now I want my own so I don't have to keep going to Edmonton.
Needs to be able to weld aluminum also, and prefer to run off 120 (highly unlikely I know)
What is out there? keep in mind I want something under $2000

econotig is under 2k, great little machine
Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.

Would you know where I might be able to pick one up or take a look at one?
Also do you know about the gas I need, do I need to have a license or can I just walk in and buy a bottle?

I've used this little guy, great unit. Stick and TIG, very adaptable power supply too.

From what the guys at the welding stores say about the Econotig is they don't like the 20% duty cycle on it, can over heat, etc...but I mean I am not doing lots of welding, and when I will be welding it will be for a few minutes at a time.
If anyone reads this and can recommend on where to get a bandsaw with a swivel base please let me know.

You dont need a license to get a bottle, i think my dad picked up a small bottle for around $130.Originally posted by Neons4life

You just need a properly certified bottle with all the safety regulations etc on it...

The kind of people that watch the View and go "uh huh..." Those unfulfilled people who try to fill the void in their empty lives by writing whiny letters to the editor complaining about shit that no one really cares about?
Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
