Hi everyone first post...i did a search but didn't come up with anything.Im looking at buying an AIG 200 AC/DC TIG from Australian Industrial Group in Perth. I have spoke to one person who has had one as a first welder for a couple of years and is really please with it for the price $600. It is a basic TIG without too many settings i spoke to the owner of AIG and he says they've sold thousands and part own the factory that makes them ,carry parts for them and seem to be good to deal with they are a welding company as opposed to an eBay seller selling everything under the sun .They do have a model up which has pulse and foot pedal and a lot more settings but is out of stock for nearly 8 weeks and i really need it quicker and the lower model is in stock.
I know the ideal scenario of saving more up or buying a good second hand one but my budget really is stuck at the low end with a house renovation, one wage ,money going out for other things, baby... bla bla bla so at the moment its either something cheaper to learn on or nothing at all i may afford a decent unit in a year or so . Any other recommendations for lower end DIY TIGs would be good. iT needs to be AC for aluminium 2-3mm on my tinny.I know there's alot to learn with ali and learning TIG so prepared for that.
Cheers
