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. |

I just bought an Everlast digital stick/TIG with pump/tank/water cooler for $1900 on sale. I've used TIG on stainless and aluminum. I've also burned a ton of stick on it. It works great. I'm very happy with the purchase and it has way more features than I will ever use. I love the HF start!
I even managed to get a free bottle of gas from Airgas. The kid only charged me for a refill and threw the tank in my truck. He told me he was supposed to charge me a $400 deposit on the bottle and asked if I worked for corporate. I said no and he said have a nice day. |

Everlast was actually my number 2 welder, but i heared poor reviwes about their warranty/service support. apparantly if it works, it works great but any reapir is a 2-4 weeks turn-around. +1 ony the features and spec sheet! |
