In my opinion, the primeweld 225 is one of the best choices in affordable tig welders.

The problem with most other really affordable tig welders is usually a really cheap foot pedal and TIG torch.  Primeweld went to extra expense to include a genuine CK17 torch with superflex hose along with a very smooth SSC style foot pedal. 

A high quality CK dinse adapter is also included so that you can easily swap out a tig torch or cable when the time comes. 

Primeweld also has a responsive primeweld equipment users group on facebook and also has demonstrated great customer support

Watch some more primeweld videos and you will see what I mean.
