Which budget AC TIG?
I've only ever ARC and MIG welded before but want to get into TIG welding with a machine that will also be able to do SS and Aluminium. Most likely will only be used a few times a year so not looking to spend big $'s but also don't want to buy rubbish. Currently leaning towards the UniMIG Razor after a good experience with my current UniMIG inverter that's given no problem for the last 10 years.
All machine's offer a fairly similar duty cycle and size isn't really a concern since it wont be moved around. It sounds like the few extra amps available on the UniMIGs and CIG welders may come in handy if I ever need to weld some thicker (5mm) Aluminium?
Everlast comes with a foot control and 5 year warranty.
Any others to consider or any reason not to go with the Razor?
UniMIG Razor 200 ACDC (KUMJRRZ200ACDC) - $1276
UniMIG 200AC/DC (KUMJR200ACDC) - $1144
Everlast PowerTIG 185DV - $1345
BOC Smootharc 185 AC/DC FC (BOC185ACDC/FC) - $1137.70
CIGWELD WeldSkill 205 AC/DC (W1008205) - ~$1500
CIGWELD WeldSkill 200 AC/DC (W1006200) - ~$1500
