i have done some looking at TIG machines.

from what i can find, this seems to be a good deal?

http://www.boc.co.nz/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=715840234&mpe_id=10770&productId=3074457345616765405&intv_id=715847060&evtype=CpgnClick&langId=111&catalogId=3074457345616677868&ddkey=http%3AClickInfo

 

its the only ac/dc machine i can find in this price range, all the others are DC only.

 

I probably wont be doing very much alloy welding at all but i think if im going to buy one for the same price it may as well have the capability.

Also, is this enough ergs for what i will be doing? mostly mild steel, prob from panel steel, up to 5mm max thickness, will use for car stuff.

I have spent hours and hours on one of these at work and can promise you won't be disappointed.

Buy one :-) I don't think there's a better welder in nz for the money

I got one, also went and got a bottle of argon. For reference - I got one from eziswap, $599 for a bottle you own, when it needs refill you give them your one and they give you a full one, and pay for a refill, which they said would be $150. Other option was buy a bottle for $560 from another place but getting it refilled is a bit of a ball ache, my argoshield bottle was from the cheaper place. Had a tutu on it this afternoon and it seems easy to use, I haven't driven a tig for 9 years so need a bit of practice getting settings sussed. The HF start makes things a lot easier than the other one I used
