looking at getting a tig welder for just home use, nothing commercial, probably use it once or twice a month or something.
looking at one of these, what one is good to get??
TradeTools
or
WeldSkill 200HF Page 1 of 0 - Affordable, Compact and Light-Weight - CIGWELD
no woodworkers use welders?
I have a Unimig Razor 200, very happy with its capabilities.
Although I find it does not do very well on the woodwork !
bit expensive for me.Quote:

The Renegade Industrial looks very much like the cheap POS that I first purchased, just a newer updated version..... Would not recommend.
The CIGWeld come up as $900 but if you want to do Ali you will more than likely need a foot pedal, does not appear to have much in the way of consumables and no PPE
UNIMIG RAZOR 200 AC/DC Bundle PK11075 | Total Tools
Foot pedal, consumables, PPE. Add $300 for a swap and go cylinder and ready to go for under 2k
aluminium welding, some stainless, some mild steel budget around $1k if possible
watched a video the other day where someone was testing a vevor against a eastwood. they were surprised how good the vevor one was
this one this d00d loves it RENAGADE 200amp ACDC tig welder unboxing to your first weld #SHEDKING #TRADETOOLS #RENEGADE - YouTube

This is the welder I originally purchased, at the time it was the sub 1K priceQuote:

Never had any significant success with TIG, still have it as the plasma side is OK.
As you can see the Renegade is just a different colour paint and stickers.
Based on my experience I would not recommend purchasing one of them. However YMMV
WeldSkill 200HF any good??
It won’t do aluminium, you need AC/DC for that.Quote:

Pretty much everything is going to work and be all nice any shiny out of the box. It's how long it lasts after the warranty runs out, that's the real test.
Spending $1000 on what you're looking to do is a waste of $1000, IMHO.
ah ya right didnt notice that.Quote:
