Yeswelder TIG Welders

TIG welding is a sophisticated process that needs a sophisticated machine.

Gas tungsten arc welding is a versatile process and not every TIG welder can be used for every branch of TIG welding. It is important to match your machine's abilities with the process, the kind of metal being welded, and the expected outcome of the weld.

On the market there exist simple direct current TIG machines as well as more sophisticated AC/DC TIG welders. If you are a professional TIG welder, then you already know what we are talking about and you will mostly be interested in seeing what features our machines offer.

However, if you are a beginner in TIG welding, you should understand what makes the difference between different price points of TIG welders. If you are on your way to becoming a pro in this trade, you need to think ahead and invest in a high-quality machine or maybe you will be satisfied with a more simple TIG welder that does the job properly.

This is exactly what this article will help you achieve.

What is TIG welding

In a nutshell, TIG welding is a process that welds two metal pieces together using an electric arc in combination with a tungsten electrode. The electrode in TIG (Gast Tungsten Arc Welding) does not get used up like in MIG or stick welding processes.

The non-consumable tungsten electrode carries current to the welding arc while the welding pool and the tungsten are shielded using an inert gas. The gas is usually 100% argon, but sometimes helium can be added for better penetration.

If a filler metal is used, it is applied additionally similar to the Oxy-acetylene welding. You dab the filler metal wire into the welding pool in order to fill the joint. TIG is also often performed without any filler metal. Instead, the two pieces are joined together by melting them both together. This is more often than not done with thin metal sheets.

TIG welding is a process that is used for sophisticated welds. You can weld pretty much anything with it, but since it is a slower process, that has a much higher potential for a visually pleasing finished product which is exactly its primary use. Getting a perfect and clean weld is the ultimate goal of any TIG welding job.

It is also the most difficult process to master and it requires more preparation prior to welding and more skill during the welding process itself than other processes. You can weld almost any metal with it — from stainless steel to aluminum and various alloys.

YesWelder TIG Welder Collection

We strive to offer various product lines for various needs, but without breaking the bank with any of them.

In this article, you will learn about our top TIG welders for various needs. We also have more inverter based machines that have the ability of lift TIG welding, but that is a bit of a supplemental, non-primary welding process for those other welders.

Here we will focus on professional machines that have above-average abilities like high frequency TIG torch start, AC welding, DC welding, AC and DC pulse welding, TIG pedal abilities, auto welding, low amp start, seam tracking, high degree of setting control, pulse frequency/width settings, post and pre-gas flow settings, foot pedal and many other abilities that are meant to significantly improve the quality of your work, but also the work experience itself. Why torment yourself with ancient technology if you can get the job done easier and faster just by tweaking a few knobs?

The welders below are meant for professional work but are easily accessible to anyone who needs something a hobbyist needs. We would like to draw your attention especially to our last option in the list below which is the most affordable while still offering a bunch of useful features.

250Amp AC/DC TIG Aluminum Welder With Pulse

This is our top TIG welder that is meant for professional work, but is also simple enough to use by beginners and DIY hobbyists who need advanced features. It is also affordable when compared to many other options on the marketplace that either fail to provide the same features or are in a similar range to our welder.

With the 250 Amp of power, you will be able to TIG weld pretty much any thickness found in a professional setting except for anything that requires an industrial-level machine. Nevertheless, high amperage output is not the cream of the crop —the low output is.

Any TIG welding professional will be more interested in the low-output ability. After all, you don't want to burn through any thin workpiece sheet metal you may be working on. This welder of ours has the lowest amp power output of just 5 amps which is great for starting amps.

This TIG welding machine is an AC/DC TIG welder, but AC is what will grab the attention of the welders interested in working with aluminum and other metals that can't be welded with DC. It has pulse frequency/width control in a range of 0.5-200Hz which is more than enough to let you customize your arc. Pre and post-flow gas settings will help you protect your weld and the up and downslope settings are beneficial in tapering on and off your amperage (N.B. very useful if you don't use foot pedal).

It comes with a quality foot pedal and a heavy-duty TIG torch. It has support for HF TIG start and it utilizes the AC squarewave technology to further improve your results.

There is so much that was packed in This TIG welding machine tightly and for a decent price that we just can't say no to it. If you are in a need of a really sophisticated machine, then please check it out in more detail and consider it for your welding application.

DC Pulsed TIG Welding Machine with HF TIG Stick Arc

This could be observed like a slimmer version of the This TIG welding machine mentioned above. It is packed with many features, but some were omitted to reduce the price and to target a different type of buyer. Maybe you don't need AC welding or some other advanced features and, if that is the case, then this machine may be the one for you.

This TIG welder does DC pulsed welding and offers a high frequency start. It also does TIG spot welding which is useful in fabrication and some other applications.

This DC TIG welder has fine controls for pulse frequency, peak current, base current, and pulse width which will help you in the manipulation of the heat you input into your work. With the right settings, a welder can significantly control penetration and minimize metal distortion.

You can also set pre and post-flow gas settings, up and downslope time to taper on and off the maximum heat input. By combining these settings with the 2T/4T trigger function, you will have a very high degree of control over your welding process.

Just like all of these TIG machines, it is also capable of stick welding. While most brands will offer a stick arc TIG welder combo, we stand apart by further tweaking and improving the stick arc welding performance. For instance, our arc control algorithm is well thought out so that it improves the arc stability, the ease of arc starting is improved, and the electrode has no sticking. Furthermore, if you change the length or the section of the cable, the machine will automatically adapt to it.

This machine is affordable and we believe stands tall amongst other welders in the marketplace with similar settings and price range. Like in all other welders, we are trying to pack as many features as possible without making an overly priced machine.

Stick Arc TIG Welder YesWelder TIG-205DS 110/220V Dual Voltage

This inverter technology TIG welder is our most affordable option that can still be considered capable of handling actual demanding TIG welding work. This is a 220v dual voltage TIG welder that is meant mostly for DIY hobbyists, artists, and any other TIG welder who doesn't need highly advanced features.

We do provide you with some high-end features with this TIG welding machine like a high frequency TIG torch start so that your welded piece can stay uncontaminated by tungsten tip and so that the contact is made via arc. Not many brands have a TIG welder to offer with an HF start at this price range.

It also has fairly low amp capabilities. Its low end sits on 15A power output which may not be revolutionary, but you shouldn't even try to weld really thin sheet metal without getting a more professional machine. 15A is still very good if you don't mind some small warping occurring when starting to weld on very thin metal.

This TIG welder is dual-voltage-capable and has an input power of 110v/220v and a 60% duty cycle allowing you to weld for prolonged periods of time. Its output range is from 15A to 205 amp. Which is more than enough for a DIY hobbyist needs or for simple weld shop TIG welding work. It's simple to use the machine with a very simplified control panel on the front that also has LCD amperage display It comes with everything you need like TIG torch, electrode holder, 2-Pin Foot pedal, ceramic cup and etc. The TIG 205DS is ideal for beginners wishing to start learning TIG or people who need something for less demanding work.
