Hello all,

time to upgrade from my little lincoln weldpak 100. If you guys had a single choice between getting a millermatic 210 (mig) of syncrowave 200 (tig) which would you go with. I'm mostly a hobbyist at best. I mostly do some exhaust welding (not fabing headers), will get into some stainless intercooler piping and will be making a welding table (box steel with either 1/4 or 3/8 table top). As for mig welder I believe it's more forgiving; i.e. get away with more of a gap between the two objects, pipes, etc. you are trying to weld. For the tig it's more of a persision welder?

Any input would be great..

Thanks,

 

2 different welding process machines

but Tig can do anything Mig can do. but slower, more precise, cleaner but of course the operator needs to be on par also.

 

you interested in selling your weldpak, i just bought a mig but if its reasonable I can mabye get that instead. Located in Northern NJ.

 

will probably hold onto my weldpak for now. Not sure as to when I will be getting the welder.

 

if the work is only for your self I would say get the tig, you can weld a wider range of metals w/o switching gas and its for your self you dont mind if its take 4x times longer than migging it. Plus it will look better
