I'm piecing together a low budget TIG setup to get my feet wet with TIG.  I've been welding thin wall tubing with a 110v Bluepoint MIG up until now and am curious what Tungsten to run just to weld mild steel?  Also, what filler rod?  Would stainless filler rod just be a pain?Thanks in advance guys
Reply:Depends on the machine you r using,  Lanthanated works good for inverters.  Buy it via ebay. Cheapest way to go.   Still hard to beat the 140ST from everlast or longevity for a cheap tig setup. 140 amps is a good amount of current for DC tig.   Try and score yourself a used dc tig machine.  Most end up coming with extras like consumables and often cylinder and regulator...And please try using the search function this is a topic that has been covered hundreds of times.Tiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250
