I have always wanted to do tig and even have had some seat time, with a buddy that had it already set up ( hard part). Which tig in the everlast line would you guys recommend? I will be doing aluminum boats, aluminum tubing fab up to 1/4". Also can you put a mig spoolgun to any of these tig machines? Thanks in advance .
No, you can't use a spoolgun on an Everlast AC TIG machine. (There are some multi-process machines that can, but they are DC TIG only machines MTS)
The PowerTIG 200DX, 210EXT, and 250EX are probably the ones you will be looking at. It all depends on features and abilities.
You might search this forum for posts by fdcmiami. He does a lot of marine work and has a number of projects posted up here using both MIG and TIG.
