Re: TIG Welders
It should boil down to how much are you wanting to spend. Not how much the machine costs.You get what you pay for. Sure the eastwood one welds but it will be no comparison to "blue" "red" or "orange" machine.Low duty cycle not capable of low amps.But when it comes to trouble shooting and repair parts availability Eastwood can't help you much.In fact if it a Chinese machine (and it will be)you are pretty much an orphan.An entry level good setup will be about $1800.00 ++in miller for a/c d/c with pedal and torch (3 years plus warranty). You get what you pay for.I'm on my third tig machine now in 25 years and they have all been Miller. Never had any problems with them (Touch wood)
I was told once you could teach a monkey to weld,not true they quit after they are burned once. My2¢
