TitaniumTT's I hope I make it to DGRR '09 Build

I was told to stay away from the Econo-TIG. While it has some of the needed fuctions, it's just not as nice or compact, exact etc etc. I went for the Sync 200 Roller. Love it. The "balance" for one is something that I didn't think that I would be using all that much but I constantly find myself adjusting it. The Pulser is something else that was nice to have in the beginning. Set it really low and it helped get a rythm going. Make sure you have suffiecent Amps though. My last house only had a 30A wall socket so I couldn't run over ~110 amps without fear of popping the breaker. Now I have a 60A and can use more adequate amps. Subsequently my welds got a lot nicer on 1/8"+

I've heard it both ways. For my ability I think the Ecnotig is going to be about as expensive as I'll look (1200-1300) and that's about as cheap as TIG's go. I think for just learning on and getting able to weld correctly it will fit my bill perfectly (considering it's extremely similar to brazing). I would like to practice and weld aluminum and get very good at welding that. Steel seems to be a bit more forgiving. We'll see though.
