Hi Folks!
Looking for first hand experience with AC/DC TIG welders for Al and Ti. I'm looking to weld mainly 6061 up to max 1/4", some thin wall Ti and anything in between. Budget-range $1500 to $2500 max. Currently dialing in on Miller and ESAB but to recommendations. Thanks in advance!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) dc PS: open to used units in the tri-state area, just in case someone is selling. |

Besides the welder, don't forget more toys...
A gas lense kit can be really helpful. Both being able to see better with a pyrex cup and push out the electrode a bit better with additional the flow straighteners is nice in some situations. If you're doing a lot of tight work, a CK #9 torch is also a nice piece of kit. A ton of my hours were doing roll cages and one proved indispensable vs. the more standard #17. |
