You can TIG with any stick welder, and vice versa.

It'll be scratch start, and that starts to blunt up your electrode quicker than high-frequency.

Plus you wouldn't have a pedal to adjust for current, but yeah you can buy kits to adapt a TIG torch and run your shielding gas.

 

Still need your wire feeder/controller and that normally costs more than the power supply itself.

 

Jusr stick everything like a real man

 

Oh, ok. Yeah, im not into that. Im prob gonna look for another dynasty. I want a tig. Shit, I might look into HF. Prob half the price. lol

 

That's why I have my Prime Weld

Stick welding is fun AF

 

Then use 6010 for everything. Go weld through rust, paint, cow shit just like every farm hand

 

The HF Pro Tig has a ton of great features, and I honestly considered it as a few guys said great things in the Welding section.

But Prime Weld has had their TIG welder out much longer and is widely known. Plus it comes with a badass torch from the get-go (CK worldwide).

 

They are the same price I see.

I'm not a pipeline welder, I'm just a hobbyist

 

Really?

I thought the ProTig was more?

 

Oh shit, thats the one you just got! you like it?

 

20 diff

 

When i worked with welders on the welding projects for ammonia i think all those guys do is 6010 then cap with 7018 or something similar to those

 

im wrong the vulcan pro tig is 1200

 

The balance feature is especially nice on aluminum once you know how to read your puddle

 

Yep, or jetrod as most people call it.

7018 is soooooo nice.

6010 can look really good, it's just dirty and the slag doesn't come right off as well as a perfect 7018 pass.

 

That's right, I knew it was more.

But yeah the Prime Weld is just the best you can get for $1k.

Hell, the pedal is better than Eastwood's TIG machine by a longshot.

The Prime Weld's pedal is large like a Miller's $6k multiprocess machine.
