|  Thermal arc welders?
Hey guys, I am looking to purchase a TIG welder and decided that I probably don't need an AC machine as I will doing mostly steel bicycle frames. I have narrowed down my choices to: http://victortechnologies.com/Therma...3)_Mar2012.pdf This is a 3in1 machine (mig,tig,stick) I already have a reliable Hobart MIG so I don't think I need this one. The input/output and duty cycle is very similar to this machine: Products I am leaning to the 161s any tips or experience? Thank you. |

If you start tiging you will endup wanting to do aluminum. So I'd get one that can do AC. Other than that I can't give eny recommendations for a certain one. I've always used then ones that my employers already have.

Checkout the forum at everlastgenerators.com I have the multiprocess machine with no issues at all. It does dc tig, stick, and plasma cut. I already had a mig welder. And since you have a mig as well the plasma will be handy to have. |

I recently bought the Thermal Arc 95s, their smallest version. It is a lift TIG/scatch start setup. I had never ran a TIG before that but found it fairly easy to use. I wanted it to more easily weld the thin sheetmetal parts I wanted to start incorporating. Worked out pretty well so far.
