Hey guys, about a month ago I purchased a lincoln electric mig for the shop and have learnt the basics with it. I'm looking for a tig now for the obvious reasons (including Aluminum) and was wondering if anyone has used the Miller Econotig?

They are going for around 1700$ on Ebay new and that seems like a really good deal, im just curious if they are missing any substantial feature I don't know about that would prevent high quality pretty welds on both stainless and aluminum.

Thanks guys, look forward to sharing my welds and getting feedback.

 

I've welded with one. They're fine for most work. For a little extra, I'd buy a 200DX or a Thermal Arc 185. I have the Thermal Arc personally, and I love it. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Since the price points are so close, I'd really suggest you look at the 200DX if you want to stick with Miller.

 

i bought a used econotig for 1k locally. great machine, had mine for 4 years now

 

take your time find a used machine locally that way you get a better machine for less money. Ive used lincoln and miller and have been happy with both
