Found a local Miller Econotig for sale for $900, has all the stuff except for the bottle (foot control, and other goodies needed), anybody have one or used one with good or bad experiance??

Usually they go for about $1300 or more so saving some money is always a good thing....I cannot afford a $2500 welder so this one caught my attention... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

It'll do aluminum which is a plus (up to 3/16" norm with thicker material if you preheat from what I hear)



thanks !!!

I have a econtig and I am taking a advance class in tig welding right now. At school with have small units to units used in aircraft and Motorsports. There are many ways to hold and run a bead with a tig. even if you have 30 amps for thin stuff change your angle of the tip less heat on the project. I love the Econotig, it runs cool and is fast to set up. Also changing the size of your Tungten will allow you to weld thin. IMO
