This is the link to the welder, its only at 133 dollars right now... Are these any good?

I would really like to start tig welding as soon as possible, but I don't have the money to get a nice welder.

Is there any way to adapt either my MIG or stick welder to a TIG welder?

I dint think thats a TIG welder, looks more like a stick welder. I dont think you are going to be able to make good welds with that thing, save your money and get a good MIG, you will be a lot happier.

What do you use, Beau? Do you have a MIG or a TIG? I have a MIG welder, but I don't use gas with it, I just use flux core wire that splatters alll over the place. How much of an improvement can I get by using gas with my MIG?

Re:Cheap TIG Welder Any Good????
 

a gas mig will splatter some but not nerly as much as rosin core will. i use a hobart tig mate still considered light duty but works well for what im doing.

im aggreeing with the other guys on this one, pass up that welder. but if your looking into a good welder go with a lincoln electric, miller, and hobart isnt bad. mig or tig. also if you want to change your stick over to tig, it depends on what kind of stick welder you got. like the lincoln i got, its a tig and stick welder in one.
