[DeTomaso] TIG welder

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

I don't own a TIG or am able to weld with one but like you I'd love to have one, especially as this one has plasma cutting. With my experience from MIG welders I'm somewhat skeptical of a 220 unit. With MIGs you'll have a hard time finding a good 230 unit and the general opinion is that 3 phase is the way to go. The power requirements of a TIG should be similar I think.
