Title: What do you think or know of this Miller Tig welder?
Post by: Nutz4sand on May 03, 2012, 07:45:12 PM: Not in a real position to buy this but don't want to really miss it either.

But as far as I can find it cannot do AC and thus cannot weld aluminum which I would not mind having that ability.

Thoughts on it as a deal? It has long leads (over 15 foot and maybe 20) and finger control for the torch.

I passed still at 700. If it had a tank of gas and a regulator I might have snagged it for now and could have sold it later when I found a better one but guess I am on that search no sorta. Maybe after I get moved.
