TIG from a Stick welder..

admin

I have only welded one time with a scratch start setup, I now have my own arc welder and I'd like to get a TIG setup for it and mainly use it as just a TIG power source.Air cooled 125 amp torch seems to be the setup I need, with out getting into lots of money what do you guys suggest for a controller box ? I'd like to TIG alum and SS, I am in a wheelchair so a foot control is out.....Any home made setups ? I'd really like a Lift Arc deal like Miller has but $$$.
Reply:Most buzz boxes don't have any plug to put any remote amperage control on it.  To convert a buzz box to a setup with a fingertip remote amperage and high frequency, you'll be in about as much as to just go buy a decent used setup.  Typically, add-on stuff like high frequency is an expensive thing to get.
