has anyone tried tig welding on this?

No haven't had to tig weld yet ,but the machine has preformed better than expected as a stick welder.

it will run 1/8 7018 stick electrode.it will also run a tig torch with 1/16 electrode .as a scratch arc. won't run alum. not enough amperage.

I don't know if it can be welded, since it is metal, I think it would work. The shank is an inch or so. I am really not a DIY person, so I may not be the best person to answer your questions.

Out of the box NO - I tried the aluminum rods without any success. It is DC but with a TIG torch and gas tank you can. What I have read online you can weld aluminum with DC but it is better with an AC unit. AS of yet I have not had the chance to set up my attachments to verify this.

We ended up welding to the exhaust pipe. I might add we used this on an off road vehicle so it was shaken around alot

It came with cables for stick welding, no tig. It's still performing very well for me - since I put in a 30 amp breaker.

Yes, it comes with the Tig torch works, and Plasma. It works very well in my opinion.

I think it would work fine. On high speed the unit moves the air quite well. If your welding with a shielding gas, it might pose a problem with weld quality. None the less, you have medium and low speed too! I'd give it a try. I'm very happy with my unit.

One of my maintenance guys makes beautiful welds with the Everlast, while the other struggles with aluminum. They both are master welders with mainstream tig welders...???

No. It's designed for styrene plastic welding. You could maybe get the pieces to stick together for a short time, but there would be no strength at all.

I have not; but it is a very versatile mounting system and in my opinion could mount on almost anything. I mounted one on 30+ year old Makita 2030 with no trouble at all.

I used j-B Weld. it did a great job. I have also used it on several other things including fixing the plastic molded hing on a waffle maker. the stuff just works.

Caleb, if it was sheet metal (thin) with mapp gas, maybe, For me I would try to pickup a small oxy-acetylene used set, much hotter flame and you can use it for brazing, welding, cutting, and heating.

hi i'm using this helmet for both arc and mig, tig is a higher energy arc so consult with your local welding shop on the type of electonic shielded class you need for tig

I just bought the hobart 190. I am waiting for delivery. I spent 2 weeks decideing between the hobart and the eastman. I decided welders are like golf clubs. If you buy cheap you will never know whether is you or the machine that laid the ugly weld. In my case it will take the excuses away.

You will need a cylinder of argon with a regulator, an argon hose, a "power-block" which goes between the argon hose and the hose/cable to the torch. It will work fine on steel and stainless , you would an AC high-frequency power source for aluminum.Hook your negative electrode to the power block and positive ground to the work piece and you will have a "scratch-start" TIG set-up.

yes, i welded polypropylene and had no issue, but need to be patient with it the heat doesn't melt it right away and you just need to put some pressure to it

Recommend looking at Everlast PA-140ST on Amazon. Over $100 less, works on 110 or 220, up to 140 amps, includes tig torch & carry case. Would still have to buy regulator & hoses, but would have money left over from the savings. Would still need to buy a tank of gas, but that would be needed with any tig welder purchase.
