Anyone by any chance interested in trading a Miller Thunderbolt 225 arc/stick welder for a tig welder (with 110v input). Runs off a 230V single phase line, 25v AC 30-225 amp working current. The unit is mint (actually has not been used). Its much too heavy duty of a unit, and I mostly need to do tiny stuff with aluminum. As well as I don't have a 230v line running to my work area. Also does anyone know where I can get parts for a Emco unimat 3 lathe, in particular the vertical milling attachement and table. (Message edited by interex2050 on February 05, 2006) |

Int -- check Home Shop Machinist magazine for parts for your Emco Unimat -- lots of sources for them, last I looked |

Int - I'm unaware of any 110v AC tig welders. You might be able to get a 110v DC tig, but they won't weld aluminum. Go to my profile, and then to the website listed there. I weld alum. ALL day long. Dan |

Classy work. That is a shame to hear that there really is no 110 volt AC tig welder. I was hoping that I was just bad at searching for them... BTW how much would it cost to have a 230V line run? Also... what other alternatives would I have? (from what I have gathered something with a 5 amp min would be handy) |

I have a Miller Dynasty 200DX AC/DC Tig Machine. It's an inverter machine and will run on anything from 120 - 460 VAC although I have only tried mine on 220v. It's also very small and portable and has a ton of cool features. They are expensive but very capable and impressive! Here's a link to it: http://www.millerwelds.com/products/tig/dynasty_200_series/ (Message edited by Hodakaguy on February 08, 2006) |

That is some nifty stuff... I guess it's time to save up. How much do you think the Miller Thunderbolt 225 is worth? thanks |

Update... I found a 230v line (well 242v actually) Is there any way that I might be able to make the thunderbolt unit tig ready? |
