What do you think or know of this Miller Tig welder?
« 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.

Pass on it.Too many AC w/hi freq to be had to settle for this one.

I have used the same welder for a few tig projects. I only used it cause I had one on my jobsite to take home for the weekend. Great for portability but as master said no AC or high freq for aluminium.  They can also be found for $400-500 used.
Its better to be a smartass than a dumbass!

He dropped the price to 700 bucks but it came with no tank (kinda normal for that but its always nice to get the tank) and he was keeping the regulator for his mig.

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.
