Recently I've decided to to purchase a Tig welder, I have a Miller XMT 350 CC/CV welding machine. Apparently this model can be equipped do Tig welding by adding the proper attachment from Miller.
The local Miller dealer tells me the cost would be about 1400.00, he also said this attachment requires some internal connection to the circuit? which Miller recommends I have a dealer install.
Also this setup is DC only, so I will not be able to weld aluminum? which is not a huge concern.
My main use is not production welding, more hobby shop stuff. Likely the heaviest material would be 3/16" or there abouts.
What I am wondering is, how does this set up perform? I believe Miller makes pretty good tools, but the local dealer does not have one is stock , so I can't even look at the design of the torch.
The other option is to buy a dedicated Tig welding machine, the one that was recommended is a CK Worldwide model MT 200 cost is about $2800.00
