well we just bought our first tig welder for the shop and hope that we made a wise choice. Finances were an issue so we didnt go crazy so we picked up a Miller SYNCROWAVE 180 SD TIG. What are your thoughts on this welder? Good deal? We are trying to step up from the good ol MIG.

BTW: and cool learning tricks or exersices would be highly appreciated. ive been welding MIG for prolly about 1.5 years now. I know that the TIG is a totaly diffrent animal but i hope some of my experience will help me

 

It's what I use, I've never had any problems with it.

Although I did just notice this...

Has anyone ever guessed wrong whether or not that was a torch or stinger in their hands?
