So I am going to have a classroom chock full of miller dynasty 300's to do all my fab work needed to get a garrett t28/evoIII 16g hybrid strapped to my car. Problem is, it's not beginning until June and I'm impatient.

Does anyone with an AC/DC tig machine (with a 3/32" torch collet) want to sublet some time out to me? I'll have everything precut and beveled and also have all my consumables.

It'll be a modified stainless up-pipe, downpipe, some brackets, and probably some aluminum I/C tube; my guess is no more than 30 minutes on time.

DIY rotated ftw

I weld, I have a Miller Dialarc 250 tank of a stick welder at the house, and have ton of Syncrowave 350's and SA-200 pipeliners at work. You cant Heliarc at my house, and you deffinately couldnt come to my work to work on a project. You can stainless stick it at my house if you absolutely need to but it wouldn't be the prettiest, its probably one of the hardest stick rods to run IMO.

But I do have a sugestion for you that I have been meaning to buy for a while, and since your just welding some thin SS (prolly 304, its the most common and cheapest) so you only need DC tig. Check this out its a Lincoln Invertec v-155 its only around $700 and you can heliarc with it or stick with it, its a hell of a deal and it will do 150 amps (way more than you will need). I assume you have a TIG torch already but if you dont for a few hundred more you will get a whole get up (weldcraft wp-17, regulator, and everything). And hell once you done with it you can sell it to me!

SR20, thanks for the offer man! Those inverter machines are badass, but to get a/c they jack the price way up.....but I guess they have to make money somewhere.

I'm considering just getting a #0 tip and buying a gas setup, since I could use flux paste and get my aluminum and stainless work done and also have a pre-heat option if I ever get a job and can afford a good gtaw machine.

Craigslist has some jokers trying to sell dinosaur tig setups for 1000+. haha

I <3 my stick welder, you can teach a kid how to mig weld, and you can in a few days teach someone how to tig, but stick welding is an artform.

That said there is some things you just need a tig setup for.

personally, I look at mig welding as a two dimensional process: pull trigger and make weld pass. Tig, oxy-acetylene, and stick all are three dimensional since you have to add the filler manually, operate the heatsource manually and all the while make the weld pass.

Stick welding is really just a more primitive arc process, and unfortunately it doesn't have the cleaning power for aluminum. Otherwise I'd be sticking away.

Its been 20 years since I picked up a oxy, Hell not even sure I could do it with any sort of grace anymore.
