How does a BIG NAME brand tig welder compare with an Everlast or AlphaTig?

admin

Are the electronics in a $3000 miller or lincoln at 240v produce a much better arc than a lesser brand machine?Magnus 140 MIGAHP 201xd

Reply:So…..arc quality wouldn't necessarily be better with a name brand machine? I like my AHP 201. It is all I have known. It has ac/dc, pulse, post flow, stick, 4t, 2t…and i run it on a 240v power source….whats not to love?So why do i ask? Wondering arc? Probably electrode issue or a ground issue? I am using the grounding cable that came with it.Magnus 140 MIGAHP 201xd

Reply:this thread is from a member who recently upgraded from an AHP....https://weldingweb.com/vbb/threads/7...TIG-313-ReviewLooks like there perhaps is a good difference.
