Can anyone give me an idea what a good ACDC set to learn to tig weld steel and aluminium would be? I'd be teaching myself and can already mig weld.
Thanks.

Re: Kit to learn to tig weld with
I have a unit similar to this,https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353073755105 ... 1438.l2649
There are loads of makes all looking like this probably out of the same chinese factory.
My one came with a foot pedal which I would recommend you get one with a pedal to. It makes it a lot easier to control the current.
My unit welds fine and decent for the money. I am sure mine was below 500 with the pedal included.
Totally different to mig though, but if you can gas weld it shouldn't be to hard to pick up tig.
