Anyone familiar with the "economy" tig welders from Miller or Lincoln? Are they worth the money for welding aluminum in the 1/8" to 1/4" range and stainless from say 18 ga to 1/8" range? Is the fine current what they say it is? I'm not a good enough tig weldor to try it out and know what to look for - I'm looking to learn. I can stick decent. The old timers told me to get good with oxy. before trying to tig. I feel I'm ready. Thanks.

I have a Lincon square wave 175 that will do a nice job on all of the metals you mentioned, however this is an air cooled, so it gets too hot to hold after a few minets of continous use. I have built trailers, sprayer frames and several other projects and repairs with this and for the money you can't beat it. Around $1400 with bottle full of gas.

The advice about learning gas welding first is sound. Better yet take a class in T.I.G. Rare is the man that can pick up a tig torch and just start using it.Machine adjustment,gas flow,knowledge of various metals and castings also is imperative to doing the job properly. A M.I.G. might well be a better option,easier to use and less expensive.
