I've had the acdc 161 tig welder for a few weeks now and I have done some stainless steel and a fair bit of aluminium with it and I'm impressed, in my opinion it's every bit as good as any machine I've used in the past and is easily capable of doing commercial work in a busy sheet metal shop.

Well we needed to tig a stainless tank of which we bought the welder for . And as a newbie to the tig it has done an awesome job of it . And hopefully many more projects too. Recommend to anyone really looking for a tig I was told needed ac for aluminum welding but we ain't ventured that far as yet so rather than just buy dc tig we got ac/dc one Product itself is a neat machine . Like say we pretty novices at this we watched a few YouTube videos from experienced welders. All say different things so go ahead trial and error few test pieces and go for it .
