NEW TIG TECHNOLOGY: By John Luck Looking to upgrade your welding operation? Check out the results of five manufacturers and two schools that have switched to advanced high speed pulsed TIG welding technology.  Barrett welder Joey Cannon reports that his advanced TIG welders have a primary power draw of 5 or 6 amps when welding at 120 amps, freeing power for other equipment.
Are you a "Don't fix it if ain't broke" person? Or does the phrase "Change or die!" best describe your attitude?
Professional TIG welders tend to identify themselves as either traditionalists or innovators. There's room for all types, which is why manufacturers offer a variety of welders. However, fans of conventional TIG welders should consider that switching to advanced TIG will be like going from a plain screwdriver to an 18-volt lithium ion hammer drill/driver: you'll complete jobs faster, expend less effort and tackle bigger projects without adding manpower. Sure the tool costs more up front – but you can pay for it with just one job. |
