I am looking to buy a tig and wanted yall's opinion on which i should get. its gotta be portable or at least light enough to put on a rack and push it around, i am a little guy. gotta have enough ***** to do 1/4 inch and can be a dry rig. would like a spark switch and dosnt need ac. needs to last and not have any probs with it... thats a given. and i only have $800 for one.

 

the only thing your going to get for 800 bucks is a smiley tig with misc odds and ends.

 

yeaa smiley for life.

 

Smiley just made this:

 

where are yu located buy my miller.

 

Ya, that's light.

 

I really like my thermal arc. It has all the bells and whistles you could want. Does both ac and dc and only wieghs about 75 pounds.

its on running gear with extended cables and a tank rack.. doesnt get more portabel than that you stupid ----

when i need to wheel a tig onto the shop floor i always wheel the miller out. moving the thermal arc is a hassle.

 

I thought you were going to keep it and have 2 guys welding manifolds.. I really want it, but I'm not local enough to pick it up, plus from all my research I want a TA mostly.

 

i have a ta and want to dump the miller for another ta :P
