[QUOTE="The-Boss, post: 754407, member: 1305"] I started learning Tig years ago with older comercial Miller machines. It seemed like any little contamination would kill the bead and was generally very finicky. Some of the newer inverter machines are definitely the way to go unless you have years of experience with the older style. The AC balance cleaning action, pulse heat control and so on make them much more forgiving. I looked at all the machines out there and good used ones. However I always came back to AHP and Everlast for the money. Both are used commercially quite a bit and are very reliable with all the latest features for much less than a Miller as a budget option. I have a Miller Mig and plasma but couldn't justify a new Dynasty. If you weld on any rigs make sure the welder is 2t 4t capable so you can use a finger switch. Getting a pedal certain places can be about impossible. I planned on using mine mainly for aluminum but that changed pretty soon after getting it. I now use it on steel quite a bit. I even welded my buddies stainless airplane exhaust the other day. [/QUOTE]
