I have the cheap Plasma/TIG/ARC combo from Ebay and Hotrex can verify it does cut nicely and drops a nice TIG weld. I am very pleased for the money. The 30amp unit like I have WILL NOT cut more than 1/4 thick steel. I dont know whats advertised but it barely get through 1/4. Sheet metal, Schedule 10 and 40 SS pipe, and up to 3/16" is like butter though.

never used one, but I could sell you one similar to the 2nd one for a similar price ;)

Many times I have thought of buying the Chicago Electric one.

Go for it and let us know how it works!!

me and dave use the thing every day no probs. and it does lay a nice bead... we primarily use it for plasma cutting as we have a miller syncrowave tig.

Ya I saw Smiley Tig/Plamsa/Arc on Egay. VERY Tempted when I have some cash I might go 50/50 with a friend.

In addition to my TIG/ARC/Plasma Cutter I also own a Lincoln 135 MIG. I like it very much. Food for thought.

so these cheap tigs work well? how would it work for welding aluminum, or would it just crap out on that?
