I’m in the mood

To buy a TIG welder

I’m rubbish at welding, have never tried TIG, dont even know why I want one, but I need a TIG welder in my life

It will never be worked hard, good if it can do SS and alu, simpler and cheaper the better

Prefer new

I don't believe you.

Not very much, I’ve been learning how to be northern ....

I don't believe you.

Your not about to find out, at least not tonite

Should we warn RSPCA?

Stainless is *very* difficult. Alu is ok, takes a bit to learn. The ability to weld hard HSS edges onto stuff is bloody useful.

* I have zero desire or plans to try stainless again any time soon.

Tell that to the guys who do your prostate exams

I find stainless a lot easier than aluminium.
If you definitely want both, it has to be an AC/DC machine, don't settle for less.
Maybe someone will sell you a sherman 206p? Probably the best budget tig set ever sold, while they were around... All of the other cheap ones are much of a muchness.

 

[Munkul]

Saw these cordless welders advertised on friday

Hello Parm,

I've been happy with my R Tech AC\DC TIG set, have a look on their website.

I agree with Munkul on the relative ease of stainless to aluminium if welding thin sheet. Thicker aluminium is not too bad I found.

Parmster I may be selling my transtig, it can double up as a dimmer switch for the lighting in the whole street
