Yes the tig welder is DC, I gave it a shot to start with and it came out like shit, It was impossible to weld. Ended up with it blowing out, not sticking, turning black. Was utter shit, and I can weld with about anything.
Why it works on a DC Mig welder? I have no idea but it does. I had to reverse the polarity of the ground clamp and trigger, but from the get go it worked smooth as butter. Except the one time I tried without the argon flowing, then flashbacks of the DC tig experience started manifesting themselves and i'm like wtf is happening. The welds didn't stick, had terrible penetration and weren't smooth at all.
