I've been following the discussion on MIG welders.  Along this line, has
anybody any personal experience with the add-on units to adapt a standard
AC-DC welder for TIG.  Are they worth messing with?  Any recommended
brands?  TIA

    I had an old craftsman arc welder that I put a rectifier and a high
freak unit on and basicially tought myself to weld with it. This was 20
years ago and back then it was no cheap thrill. By the time I got all
the stuff that I neededI proably could of got a cheap tig welder. I
guess it is a question of how much money you are willing to spend.

Robert,

What machine are you adding too.  I have used a lot of Tig units added
to the old Lincoln AC-DC machines.  They work well.  Just remember to
get water cooling if you are going to do heavy amperage welding and to
get high frequency if you do any aluminum.

Regards,

Jim
