For sale is a 'Smiley' TIG welder. Works excellent and welds really good for a budget tig welder. I bought it to fabricate/weld a downpipe, 3" exhaust and dumptube on my car and since then I haven't used it, so I'm throwing it up for sale. It has high frequency start. It only has DC, so no aluminum welding. Works great on mild and stainless steel. If you are serious about purchasing, I still have the welder hooked up and you can test it out before buying.
