This unit is lift tig which is easy to use but not as good as hf which you will find on higher end tigs. What impressed me about the tig on this unit is that the low end of the amp scale is accurate. You can weld really thin shyt with this. Then I got the TS200 ac dc at a good price with no torch or any accessories... The tig control plug is different. I rang the supplier Dynaweld fully expecting them to tell me to fark off and buy another tig torch, but instead they talked me thru the process and sent me wiring diagrams !
    Awesome service.

    Take eveyones advice and dont use gasless wire. It is horrible messy crep. My roll went in the bin after using it for 30 seconds.
    What are your thoughts on the Rossi brand - this one in particular? garage use only. I have the 130amp mig at the moment , again a Rossi, but even on gas and full power it does not lay a good bead - struggles to get the metal down and its a generally horrible looking result - i am resigned to park it under the bench.
