I am interested in getting a TIG welder (the welder of a Jedi Knight, not as clumsy or random as a MIG), mostly for auto body work. Has anybody actually tried the HF 98233 TIG welder, which is on sal
Yes, I noticed the TIG/Plasma combos. They look attractive, but I have always managed to cut stuff reasonably well with saws, zizz wheels, etc. A plasma cutter would be neat to use, but it seems more
I don't have any info, but have a related question... The HF welder mentioned is DC only. Is there an AC/DC TIG choice available before you get to the $1.5k+ name brand stuff? Mark _________________
There seem to be some Chinese AC-DC welders starting at about $1000, but that's not much less than the price of a Miller Diversion 165. I don't understand why AC-DC welders are so much more expensive
heavier) transistors Those are four big, high-power IGBTs. Last time I looked, they cost about 200 bucks a pop. That's low volume pricing; nobody making welders is paying anything like that, but it's
Yes, I googled "homemade tig welder" or something like that, and I saw a description of somebody's project to build an inverter module. It looked more complex and expensive than the rest of the welde
