Thread: What TIG welder to buy???????

Tweet

Well, I've made some calls to Miller and Cyberweld, and I think I will pass on the water cooled torch for now. It is a little too rich for my blood, as it would add about $ 700 to the tab. He can always add it later on, they tell me.

Just for comparision, my local Miller dealer wants $ 2085 for the same unit Cyberweld wants $ 1864 for, and both have to ship from the factory. I like to buy local when possible, but a difference of $ 221 is just too much to pass up.

So it looks like this will be the one. There are 34 in the warehouse, so Xmas delivery should not be a problem.


I really appreciate all the input guys. It helped me make the decision.

Not to knock the Miller dealers but I found the same to be true here. They are higher than any other dealers around and don't offer any better service.
Good luck with OUR new machine DAD

I got mine last summer for $1900 right off the Miller truck, but like I said, he wanted me to switch from red to blue sooooooo bad!!!!! Guess I would go with the mail order, $200 difference is enough to get a bottle of gas for it.....

Well, that is another thing. The local guy wasn't really too interested in giving me info either. I had to pump him and feed him the info you guys and my research turned up. The girl at Cyberweld was cheerful, knowledgeable, and helpful. I suspect this may be where Dan bought his MIG, but I just can's ask him without blowing the deal.


Tomorrow when I sober up from all this Nyquill, I may say "what the heck was I thinking" but today this seems like a good idea.
