Several years ago…sometime around 1993, I bought my first tig welder.
Around 1996, I got an order for 200 round parts.
The job paid pretty well but I didnt want to spend all my earnings on a turntable without knowing if I would use it often enough to pay for it.
This is some serious gravy work.
I have a lot of rounds parts to weld for a customer.
Any time I get round parts to weld, I prefer to use my turntable.
For this video, I am using an AHP alphatig 200x tig welder.
I bought my turntable off ebay several years ago and it is part of a welding lathe setup.
for this video, I am only using the positioner portion of the lathe but in future segments, i will set up the whole system with a tail stock and torch holder.
If you have trouble viewing videos on YouTube , I have included another option below
This is a review of 4 different AC/DC tig welders.
Lincoln tig 175
miller diversion 180
everlast 210ext
lincoln square wave 200
All of these are affordable tig welders that can weld aluminum as well as steel.
but all have their pros and cons.
watch the video to learn more.
This is part 1 of a series of videos about tig welders.
the simplest setup for tig welding is a simple scratch start tig.
Almost any DC stick welder will work.
But that is not always the best option.
There are new inverter power sources available that come with tig torch and flowmeter and are very affordable.
Remember these DC tig welder setups shown in this video are for mainly for steels and stainless steels and will not weld aluminum.
I helped a friend fix his sagging garage doors.
They need a cable and turnbuckle because the door frames are not rigid enough to handle the weight without sagging.
