I often get asked what type of things can be welded using a TIG MIG Welder and whether the use of a PLASMA CUTTER is really that necessary. With thanks to Ted for supplying the pics and video, if you were a teen in the 80’s you will instantly recognise your dream car at that time. If you have the time and patience you can weld and cut anything and manifest your dreams into reality.

 

 

 

You will need a TIG welder if you want to custome weld intricate components in the cabin

 

An AC DC Tig Welder helps if you are welding under the bonnet, great for aslly and steel components

 

A metalmaster mig welder comes in handy when welding the body panels, look at the phatness

 

Number plate to suit, what an awesome build

Customers often ask what benefits AC DC tig welders have when compared to the humble DC Tig welder. Depending on the model of Tig welder will dictate the optional settings however the main difference is the ability to weld aluminium. If you are in the USA, ok ALUMINUM.

Alternating current or AC when used in an ACDC Tig welding machine allows electrons to flow to and from in the welding arc. When the electrons flow from tungsten to job we get penetration, when the electrons flow from job to tungsten you get cleaning action as the aluminium oxide layer is blown from the surface of the workpiece.

From the information provided above you can see that DC Tig welders can be used to tig weld all materials except thos with a refractory oxide layer such as Aluminium. If you need help with your selection of an ACDC Tig please give our staff a call on 1300 881 991 and we will be happy to help you.

As Welding equipment technologies mature it is inevitable Digital ACDC Tig Welding Machines find their way into the Tokentools Welding Equipment Supplies product line. Over 18 months of development and testing have produced a competitively priced ACDC Tig Welder with features expected by professionals.

Full arc control is included along with expanded tweaking for those that love to fiddle. Welding control is as follows when read from left to right.

Gas Pre Flow -> Start Crater Amperage -> Up Slope Time -> Welding Current -> AC Balance -> AC Frequency -> Pulse Amps -> Pulse Ratio -> Pulse Frequency -> Base Amps -> Down Slope Time -> Finish Crater Amps -> Gas Post Flow

LEDs are colour coded to functions so for example, when setting the machine to pulse (yellow LED with yellow circle around it, the operator is visually linked to the yellow pulse welding section with yellow LEDs. The same again for AC current settings and MMA welding. IGBT transistors from Infineon feature throughout as is the norm with our other machines. Specs are based on the time proven and rock solid Alupulse platform however digital microprocessor control enables expansion over what is available on the analogue machines.

These machines are now available for general release after successfully completing rigorous real world tests. Prices start at $1399 inc GST for the standard package or $1499 with foot control and gas reg. With free delivery and a 5 year warranty now digital welding equipment is more affordable than ever before. Call our staff on 1300 881 991 to order by phone, online store checkout will be available shortly.
