Hi all
I would like to learn how to weld aluminium. I believe the best way to do this is with a TIG welder, this would also give versatility to weld other metals as well. Apparently TIG welding isn't easy (or so i'm told) and it's been suggested that I learn how to arc weld first. Being a bit of a 'dive in at the deep end' sort of person I see it as a bit of a waste of time and effort learning how to arc weld first. I would prefer just to get stuck into what I actually want to do and learn straight from there.
However, the first obstacle I have to overcome is what TIG welder to buy, there's just so much selection out there. I've read some stuff online and been told I need an inverter type preferably around 200amp. I've also been told to get an AC/DC model with pulse and also a foot pedal. I saw this one on eBay that seems to tick most of the boxes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WELDER-STA...item234074e438
Anyone here got any advice on what are good machines?
Cheers
