looking for a tig setup or machine.

admin

I can weld stick fine. But it seems more and more places are starting to hire and require tig hands. I was wondering if any of you have any decent machine ideas to start practicing with for under 400$ or can list the entire items needed to make my sa-200 tig ready. Any help I would really appreciate.

Reply:Tozzi lists everything you need to do basic scratch start tig with your SA 200 in this thread. Expect to spend around $250 new for all the parts roughly.http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=38106As far as suggestions for a $400 tig, look on CL. I fairly regularly see older tigs like Miller 320 and 330 AB/P's starting about that price and running up to $900. On rare occasions I've sen the rebadged units for less. Expect to spend at least $400-900 for a dedicated tig on average used..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.

Reply:This is what you need, just need an argon bottle/hose and torch parts (back-cap, collet, collet body, tungsten). Should only be around $200 for an argon bottle and $200 for the parts I have links for so about $400 to get tigging. http://store.cyberweld.com/tigtopoad10.htmlhttp://store.cyberweld.com/smflreh2.html#pdItemDataTabshttp://www.arc-zone.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=7531Airco Ac/Dc 300 HeliwelderMillerMatic 200 (stolen)Miller Maxstar 150STLMiller AEAD200LE (welding and generating power) Hobart MIG
