[DeTomaso] TIG Welder Info

[GW]

My brother and I bought one together a few years ago:

I have since used it quite a bit. Are you looking for a first welder? Do 
you already have a MIG and want to add on? In general a MIG is going to 
be far more useful around the shop. A TIG is going to allow you to do 
some things you can't do with a MIG. I love my TIG but still use my MIG 
for a lot more stuff in general.

With the TIG though, I have been able to weld nice exhaust. I have done 
much work in aluminum. I was even able to weld a piece of plate aluminum 
1" thick 12" wide. It was a base for an electric motor in an industrial 
roll forming machine. It is still in operation.

Here are some of the aluminum tanks I made with the 175:
