Default First tig welder?

If Im not mistaken, I think those syncros are close to $2000 now.....

Its gonna be hard to beat the diversion 165. Its got the best bang for the buck at THAT price.....If your willing to go up to the 2000-2700 range you have quite a few more options.

If you have no interest in welding aluminum, you can pick up the maxstar 150 on ebay for under $1000
