Hello to all you knowledgeable folk . . . . My question is an easy one "I hope". I currently am taking a fast track welding class where I am learning MIG & Stick.
My reason for learning to weld is for my own needs, not that of a profession.
While taking my class, I have now become interested in TIG also. I have a MillerMatic 251 & a Lincoln AC/DC Tombstone "Cracker Box". My instructor tells me I can put together a TIG system using the Lincoln as a power source.
I would appreciate any suggestions from anyone who has done this that would guide me as to what to buy and how to assemble. I am assuming I would have very little control over AMPS other than the pre-sets on the Lincoln. With this said, I am looking for what would be the "BEST" setup using the Lincoln. Brand names, model numbers . . . anything would help.
I realize that I could not do aluminum, but my gaol is to be able to do carbon & stainless tube and small pipe. Should I be successful at "mastering" TIG, I would probably buy a dedicated TIG unit like a Dynasty® 200 Series (DX).
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
P.S. I can not tell you how valuable this forum has been. Thanks to all the info, it has allowed me to progress in my class much faster.
