[QUOTE="trebor, post: 507581, member: 20093"] I'm no expert but many years ago I did use one and if you need to weld alloy the heat dissipates so quick you need a fair bit of power. Also get a high frequency start. cheaper scratch start ones get contaminated, no good for exotic metals plus it messes up the shape of the tungsten tip for your flame / arc pattern. I used to weld stainless pipes and alloy sheet about 3mm thick. DC gives smoother weld. Get a wow wow pedal to control too. Good if your sitting down. [/QUOTE]
