    You can convert an arc welder to TIG
    Indeed you can, any arc welder can be used as a lift arc tig with very little modification. How ever they are extremely basic and will produce crater cracks as you do not have the ability to taper off.
    I started on a lift arc, they are fucken awesome to learn on. But foot pedal with HF start is def the way to go

    Fwiw, I picked up the aformentioned Xcel-Arc, seems pretty mint; and Techweld (tradezone) are good to deal with and have plenty of expertise on hand. Got plenty of tuneable knobs and switches and a good instruction manual, so might have to spend the weekend welding things to other things, tis a tough life sometimes

    Not a TIG welder but here it is anyway. Brandy new Hobart 140 amp 110volt mig welder.
    I have about $600 into it including buying the gas bottle, cart and cheapy helmet..
